This volume contains eighteen articles in honour of Konrad D. Jenner written by his friends and colleagues from all parts of the world and presented to him on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. The laureate has been a staff member of the Leiden Peshitta Institute for 35 years and has been its director since 1993. The contributions cover the broad field of Peshitta studies, addressing text-critical and text-historical questions, linguistic and translational issues, and the use of the Peshitta in the Syriac tradition. Thus the reader is given an up-to-date picture of research into the Syriac Bible. The editors, Wido van Peursen and Bas ter Haar Romeny, are two colleagues of Konrad Jenner at the Leiden Peshitta Institute.

"It is clear that organized research into the Peshitta is on a sound footing. The Peshitta Institute undertakes many activities, such as the consistent publication of its monograph series on applicable themes and the successful organization of conferences. With this publication they make available insights into novel developments in this research field on all levels." – Johann Cook, in: Review of Biblical Literature, 2007
