SYRIAC TEXTS GALORE! On the Hugoye list Kristian Heal e-mails the following:
We have added a number of additional Syriac titles to the resources section of our website (http://cpart.byu.edu/?page=99&sidebar). These titles were digitized at BYU as an extension to the BYU-CUA Syriac Reference Library project (http://www.lib.byu.edu/dlib/cua/). We will be adding more titles soon.

Some titles may already be available elsewhere (Google Books, Internet Archive etc). It would be nice for someone to take on the task of producing a master list of Syriac titles available on-line in the various collections.
The Mingana and Wright catalogues look especially useful.

Then Steven Ring replies:
Thank you very much for this invaluable Syriac resource!

Although it now needs updating a little and not only to add your titles,
last year I began to compile a master list of Syriac books and
manuscripts available on-line .
The prototype list can be accessed at:
http://www.ashu39.dsl.pipex.com/ChristianMysteries/Online_Library.html

Over the next month, I will endeavour to update this list and mend some
links which have since broken....
Of course, the list is invited to send me any new links and corrections.
This looks exceedingly useful. Many thanks to Kristian and Steven.
