The website Syriaca combines five databases, two on Syrian saints, both of which are open access. The database Qadishe, the Syriac term for „saint“, is a personal database of Syrian saints and authors who have written hagiographic texts about Syrian saints or about Syrian authors of hagiographic texts in general. The database offer several search options: time restriction, gender, related persons, places and works. There is also an alphabetical listing of all entries.
The second database BHSE (Bibliotheca Hagiographica Syriaca Electronica) is a database of Syrian hagiographic texts or hagiographic texts about Syrian saints. A total of over 1800 entries have already been included. The entries provide information on the author, tradition, beginning and end of the text as well as a bibliography. Here, too, there are numerous search options: for example, you can search for keywords, authors, but also for modern translations. The search for related persons is very useful. Both databases can thus be linked in the work and unfold their full potential in their interaction. The BSHE also offers an alphabetical listing of all entries.
