Brunner, Christopher J.
A Syntax of Western Middle Iranian. By Christopher J. Brunner, Columbia University. Delmar, 1977. LC 75-17528. Pp. 328.
The Parthian and Middle Persian languages were spoken in pre- Islamic Iran during the Parthian and Sasanian periods (c. 250 B.C.–A.D. 641). They are preserved in several literatures and on artifacts and documents such as coins, seals, ostraca, monumental inscriptions, and papyri. This grammar organizes, illustrates, and compares the basic morphological and syntactic features of the two languages. Major diachronic changes and dialect variations are also pointed out. Two appendixes discuss related topics in Manichaean texts and Sasanian inscriptions.

Makarim, Sami Nasib.
The Druze Faith. By Sami Nasib Makarim, American University of Beirut. Delmar, 1974. LC 73-19819. Pp. 168.
“A very readable and important work on the history and religion of the Druze community.”—Majid Khadduri in The Middle East Journal.
This history-making book, published with the approval of the Shaykh al-Akl, spiritual leader of the world’s Druze community of one million, for the first time lifts the official veil of secrecy surrounding this esoteric branch of Isma‘ili Shi‘ite Islam. Professor Makarim, himself a Druze, used medieval manuscript sources still under the seal of secrecy, to trace the history, beliefs, and customs of this faith from its origins early in Islam and its founding in the 11th century A.D. under the Fatimid caliphs of Egypt. The book contains translations of numerous quotations from the sacred Druze scriptures, the Six Books of Wisdom, set forth in 111 Epistles by the imam Hamza ibn ‘Ali and his disciples; commentaries by leading Druze scholars over the centuries, and several appendixes, including a list of Shi‘ite imams and stations, Druze prayers, a description of the Druze domestic law, and important dates in the history of the Druzes.
