The goal of Jonathan Loopstra’s project is to complete the first general introduction to a genre of instructional manuscripts known as the Syriac “Masora.” The purpose of these compilations was to help the reader pronounce and interpret words from across a spectrum of different sources: including works of patristics, grammar, exegesis, lexicography, and the Bible.
