Bibliography

A prayer book of this kind is possible only because of the dedicated work of many scholars, some of whom are mentioned in the bibliography while many others still remain anonymous. To all these scholars who have influenced me, both in person or through their writing, I acknowledge my indebtedness and express my great appreciation.

The author is thankful to Mr. Sabu Kurian who typed most of the manuscript. Draft of the manuscript was read by Mrs. Accama Jacob, Mr. Jacob Jacob, Mr. Thomas Joseph and Dr. Kurian Mani. The author is grateful to their suggestions.

I sincerely thank the members of St. Mary's Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church of Los Angeles for continuously supporting my initiatives in publishing. But for their encouragement and support, this work would not have been undertaken.
