An Exposition of the Mysteries
An Exposition of the Mysteries (Pushaq Raze) is an explanation of the significance of the Eucharistic Service or Qurbana Qadisha. It is attributed to Mar Narsai (437-502 A.D.), the great poet-theologian and teacher of the Assyrian Church of the East. This small, but valuable work was edited in the original Syriac by the late Qashisha Yosip d’Kelaita and printed with a translation into Assyrian at the Assyrian Press in Mosul in 1928. An English translation has been added to this reprint.

The Throne of Saliq and Notes on the History of Assyria
Mirza Dawid Gewargis Malik was born in the village of Sapurghan near Urmia, Iran in 1876. He was a prolific writer in both prose and poetry in the Assyrian language. Unfortunately most of his literary output remains in manuscript. This book reproduces the only two works that were ever published: "The Throne of Saliq: The Condition of Assyrianism in the Era of the Incarnation of Our Lord" (Chicago, 1916) and "Notes on the History of Assyria" (Chicago, 1931). Mirza Dawid was an early Assyrian nationalist who worked for the unity of his nation and sought to inspire love and dedication to the Assyrian nation through his writings. (Note: Both books are in the Assyrian language.)

Assyrian American Courier - Volume I
The Assyrian American Courier (Izgedda) is one of the oldest Assyrian newspapers published in the United States. Based on the issues we have in this collection, we can assume that publication began in 1915. The latest issues we have are from the middle of 1920. The paper was
published on a weekly basis. Each issue consisted of four tabloid size pages. The third page was generally devoted to advertising and the fourth page often contained material in English. Izgedda was published out of New York by the Rev. Joel E. Warda who also served as its editor. Werda also published the well known book entitled "The Flickering Light of Asia or the Assyrian Nation and Church" in 1924. Izgedda is a significant source for a very critical period of Assyrian history. Volume I of this reprint contains numbers 49, 51, and 52 of Volume 2 (September 12 to October 3 of 1917) and numbers 1 to 52 of Volume 3 (October 10, 1917 to October 2, 1918).

In Memoriam: Publications in Memory of American Missionaries to the Assyrians
The American Protestant mission to the Assyrians commenced in 1835 under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The mission to the Assyrians or the "Nestorian Mission", as it was originally called, had its headquarters in Urmia and was to last until the exodus of the Assyrians from their homelands in Persia and Turkey in 1918 during World War I. This book reproduces three publications of the American Mission press in Urmia. They are somewhat unique and certainly quite scarce. The first and third items are complete. Unfortunately the second item is missing two pages. 1. Sermon on the Death of Mr. Perkins by Deacon Yonan of Ada. 2. In Memory of Rev. Benjamin Woods Labaree: a Short History with Four of His Sermons. 3. In Memory of Dr. Joseph P. Cochran (1855-1905). (Note: These publications are in the Assyrian language.)
