INTRODUCTION

SyrCOM is an independent non-profit making research institute. It carries out projects in the rather small field of Syriac Computing which in turn contributes to the field of Syriac studies in general and to related fields of biblical research, theology, classics, history, philosophy and linguistics. All work is done by volunteers.

For further details, please contact George Anton. Kiraz.
