A new section was added this week about Syriac Monasteries in Lebanon where we listed 28 monasteries that were established by Syriacs living in different regions in Lebanon especially in Mount Lebanon where the ascetics and monks found the environment they were seeking, away from civilization. The information came from a book and an academic paper. We don't exclude the possibility of adding more monasteries and more information in the future.

Since we officially launched this project about a month ago, we have added three sections in addition to this section. The first section is a Blog post and we posted the first blog on November 18, titled Why Syriac Is Crucial to Early Christianity which discusses the importance of Syriac language to the Early Christianity. The second section is Syriac Monasteries in Egypt after receiving an academic paper published in 2022 about this topic and we checked the sources also. The third section is about the Syriac Schools and Libraries with information about many Syriac schools that flourished in the theological and secular sciences. There's more work going on in this section and more information will be added.
