Syriac literature contains a large corpus of saints' lives, both from
the Syriac milieu and the Greek-speaking world. Syriac hagiography is
an important and underused resource for the study of Early Christianity,
bridging the Latin, Greek, Syriac, Arabic, and Sasanian cultures of
late antiquity. This presentation will show how linked data and TEI
have enabled the creation of a database of Syriac saints' lives:
Bibliotheca Hagiographica Syriaca Electronica. Scholars and students
can now have access to over a thousand Syriac saints' lives in this
database, along with their prologues, incipits, and decipits. This
presentation will show the projects of Syriaca.org which are making
hagiographic texts and manuscripts accessible to a wide audience of
specialists and non-specialists.
