Le journal de Pierre Lévy (1886-1954) au camp de Royallieu (Compiègne)
Instrumentos de la Esperanza is a legally established non-profit organization created on October 24, 2017. Our mission is to honor the victims of the Shoah by giving voice and life to their instruments (the foundation already owns a number of them). We also help educate new generations about the Shoah through tangible tools like instruments, music, and life stories. Our main objectives are to look for these musical instruments by either purchasin…

A Note on a Mosaic from Edessa
In a recent article in Mus6on' Professor Drijvers has given an excellent description of the latest mosaic to be discovered at Urfa (Edessa), Turkey. This mosaic, like much else found at Urfa, seems to have been destroyed; but its reproduction represents a very important accession to our knowledge of the work of the mosaicists of Edessa in, probably, the third century A.D. At one point, however, we should, I believe, view Drijvers's analysis with …
White and Black Jews at Cochin, the story of a controversy
The controversy between White and Black Jews at Cochin still aroused bitter passion and partisanship a generation ago; now it belongs to history. Today fewer than fifty Jews and Jewesses remain in Kerala, scattered between Cochin itself and Mattancherry, Ernakulam and Parur. The rest of this historic and influential community have emigrated from India, most of them to Israel. It may, then, be not inopportune to offer a fresh analysis of this cele…

Observations on a recent article on Syriac inscriptions
The admirable article by Drijvers is a significant contribution to the study of early Syriac texts and certainly calls for further analysis. In the decipherment of lapidary texts the overriding factor is, of course, the script; and, fortunately, monumental Syriac script conforms to a fairly uniform pattern of development. The comments that follow are based principally on epigraphic considerations

Edessa, the 'Blessed City
Miscellaneous Fragments in Aramaic
It is with great pleasure that I offer this short article in tribute to Professor Gadd who, among his many notable contributions to the history of the early Near East, has added much to our knowledge of the ancient city of Taima.The following inscription from Taima was brought to my notice by Mr. J. E. Dayton; he generously provided me with a photograph that he had taken when he visited the site in 1965 (Plate XXXVII, a). Subsequently my colleagu…

A Syriac Seal Inscription
It is perhaps not without significance that an article on a Syriac theme should appear in this volume dedicated to Professor Sidney Smith, for it is recognized that his work has influenced many aspects of Semitic studies. This brief essay is therefore offered as a small tribute.My colleague Dr. A. D. H. Bivar very kindly drew my attention to the Syriac legend on one of the Sasanian seals in the British Museum of which he is preparing a catalogue.…
Four Syriac inscriptions
In the course of a visit to Urfa in south-eastern Turkey in 1961 I was able to re-examine and to photograph the short inscription at the bottom centre of the Tripod mosaic which I had discovered in 1956. The photographs are incorporated in the colour transcription of this mosaic by Mrs. Seton Lloyd, published with my article 'The Sabian mysteries', in E. Bacon (ed.),Vanished civilizations, 1963, 204. The revised text of this inscription, however,…

Some Syriac Inscriptions of the 2 nd-3 rd Century A .D
The inscriptions described in this article were discovered in the course of a short journey which I made in the vilayet of Urfa, Turkey, in May-June, 1952. It is my pleasant duty to thank those who made this journey possible- the School of Oriental and African Studies, who granted me leave to travel to Turkey, and the officials of the Turkish Department of Antiquities, who accorded me facilities to operate in that remote area of the country. I am…
Pagan Syriac Monuments in the Vilayet of Urfa
In May–June 1952 I was able, through the guidance and with the generous assistance of Mr. Seton Lloyd, Director of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara, to visit the monuments of Sumatar Harabesi on two occasions, the first for three days, the second for six days. The shortness of my stay there, the restricted circumstances under which I was operating and, above all, the lack of the equipment required to carry out a precise and satisfac…

An Aramaic Ostracon from Nimrud
The ostracon ND.6231 described in this article was found at Nimrud (Kalḫu), in April 1957, during the excavation of the building known as Fort Shalmaneser which was a royal depot situated in the S.E. corner of the outer town. This sherd came from room F.S., S.W.1, and lay in rubbish mixed with ash, 20 cm. above a trodden level that represents the latest occupation of the Assyrian building which was destroyed in 612 B.C. It is hoped to publish the…
Two Syriac Inscriptions from Harran
It is remarkable that no Syriac inscriptions have been discovered hitherto at Harran or in its immediate vicinity. Cuneiform tablets have been unearthed, and these reflect the prominence of the city in ancient times.But written records in Syriac have been strangely absent. And yet we know that for more than a millennium-certainly until the eleventh century-the indigenous inhabitants of Harran spoke Syriac. Lying only about 30 kilometres south of …
New Syriac inscriptions from Edessa
The inscriptions published here for the first time were discovered in the course of a visit to Edessa, the modern Urfa, during the summer of 1956. My journey was made possible by generous subventions from the Central Research Funds of the University of London and the Pilgrim Trust Fund administered by the British Academy. It is a pleasure to express here my gratitude not only to those bodies, but also to the officials of the Turkish Department of…
