Mardutho ('knowledge, discipline') is the life of the spirit.
— The Book of Beth Gazo (Chants)

Beth Mardutho seeks to promote the study and preservation of the Syriac heritage and language, and to facilitate opportunities for people to pursue the study of this ancient legacy globally. We aim to serve the academic community and the heirs of the heritage.

We would like to thank the members of Bnay Beth Mardutho who make our mission possible. Please consider joining today.

New Hugoye Publication Policy

The editors of Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies are pleased to announce a new publication policy: instead of waiting until January (Issue 1) or July (Issue 2) to release new articles on our webiste, we will add them to a new Preview Draft page as soon as they are ready for publication. The primary benefit of this new model is that it reduces the amount of time between submission and publication. The Preview Draft page is now up and running, and the first article for Hugoye 16.2 has already been posted. We hope that both our readers and our authors will find this new policty helpful.
