June 2017
I just wanted to do a quick post.
I know it has been a long while since I have done so here.
But as I was in the process of putting the first book together for the deal with Amazon, I came across some illuminations of the texts.
But they are really in bad shape, so I am having one of the artists at the CBMA help me out with them.
My plan is to have at least one of them in e-book.
Also, one of the other things holding up the book publishing was the fact that when I publish the e-book with Amazon a lot of the work done on this blog will have to be taken down. So there will have to be some major restructuring of this blog site.
Which saddens my heart because of the amount of time and effort I put into it, but on the positive note, I will hopefully be able to start posting the second book chapters soon here as well as maybe more from Otto von Hemrick and more on the history and background of the texts.
As an aside, I know right now Syria is a real mess (which is a major understatement), but to be honest historically its sort has been since the early 20th Century. This is not the first time Syria has faced human atrocities. It happened before in the early 20th Century when there was a genocide from my understanding of things.
Syria is also the first place where Christians were called Christians.
It is a shame we are loosing so many historic sites to modern warfare.
Well, that is all for now.
