The tiny amount of solid, useful information online about Syriac writers is lamentable. This is particularly so for those new to Syriac studies who have no idea what writers exist or when they wrote. Brock's Brief Outline of Syriac Literature (1997) is unbelievably difficult to obtain; Wright's History of Syriac Literature is a mess as a guide for the newcomer and is over a century old, although readily accessible through Gorgias Press. A new guide is desperately needed in print; still more on the web.
