A work in progress. 56 of 56 memre carry translations so far, shown as drafted and corrected as they are read. The rest are complete in Syriac and transliteration, and gain English, French and Arabic over time.
Numbers are provisional: 26 of 56 were read from the running heads with some doubt, so the sequence skips and repeats in places. Page ranges are reliable.
