Just Released! Ascetical Homilies of Saint Isaac the Syrian

Excellent news! Holy Transfiguration Monastery has released their updated edition of The Ascetical Homilies of Saint Isaac the Syrian. Here is an excerpt from their site:

The book includes among other things an introduction discussing what we know of the Saint's life and the manuscripts of the homilies and the various translations of them, with maps, and Appendices with homilies by Saint Isaac only in the Syriac, a Glossary of special terms, and more. Includes all the homilies by Saint Isaac in the first edition plus two newly translated from the Syriac that were omitted from the first edition. A major work of scholarship.

Indeed! Buy a copy here.
