Peshitta. The Old Testament in Syriac The Peshitta, the Syriac translation of the Old Testament, was made on the basis of the Hebrew text during the second century CE, whilst some books outside the Hebrew canon may have been translated at a later stage on the basis of a Greek text. It is an important source for our knowledge of the text of the Old Testament. Its language is also of great interest to linguists. Moreover, as Bible of the Syriac Churches it is used in sermons, commentaries, poetry, prayers, and hymns. Many terms specific to the spirituality of the Syriac Churches have their origins in this ancient and reliable version. The present edition, published by the Peshitta Institute of the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam on behalf of the International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament, is the first scholarly edition of this text. It presents the evidence of all known ancient manuscripts and gives full introductions to the individual books.

Sources and Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences was inaugurated as two series in 1975 with [...] Studies [... and] was followed the next year [with] Sources [...]. The two series were eventually amalgamated under a single editorial board led originally by Martin Klein (d. 2009) and Gerald Toomer, respectively two of the foremost historians of modern and ancient physical science. The goal of the joint series, as of its two predecessors, is to publish probing histories and thorough editions of technical developments in mathematics and physics, broadly construed. Its scope covers all relevant work from pre-classical antiquity through the last century, ranging from Babylonian mathematics to the scientific correspondence of H. A. Lorentz.[...]

This series encourages scholars and students of philosophy to explore the fertile terrain of later ancient philosophy. The texts will range from the first century BC to the fifth century AD, covering all parts and schools of philosophy. Each volume contains a substantial introduction, an English translation, and a critical commentary on the philosophical claims and arguments of the text. These readable, accurate translations remain as close to the original as possible, and are accompanied by notes on textual problems that affect the philosophical interpretation. No knowledge of Greek or Latin is assumed. General Editor Jonathan Barnes and General Editor A. A. Long

A special word should be said about the new series of "Great Histories" being issued under the general editorship of Professor Trevor-Roper. The introductions are full and up to date, the abridgements skillfully made. The "other selections" of the Gibbon are from the Autobiography and the Vindication. Other volumes to be included in the series, and their editors, will present Polybius (E. Badian), ļosephus (M. I. Finley), and Tacitus (Hugh Lloyd-Jones). From review by K. G. in The Classical Outlook, Vol. 42, No. 1 (September, 1964), p. 12.

A series edited by Hugh Trevor-Roper of abridged histories, edited and introduced by important scholars. The series was published by the Twayne Press/Washington Square Press in New York and by the New English Library in London.

This was a short-lived series of Old Icelandic texts with facing-page English translations. "This is the first of a projected series of editions of early Icelandic texts, under the general editorship of two of the outstanding scholars in this field – Siguðrur Nordal of Iceland and Professor G. Turville-Petre of Oxford." (Magnus Magnusson, from a review in The Review of English Studies, 1959)
