Private Library Of Buṭrus Mattī Yūsuf: HMML Repository

Private Library of Buṭrus Mattī Yūsuf

Manuscripts digitized in partnership with Centre Numérique des Manuscrits Orientaux (CNMO). Buṭrus Mattī Yūsuf (1936-2015) was a Chaldean Catholic native of northern Iraq who lived in Paris for most of his later life. His manuscript collection includes his own class notes from his studies in Rome in the 1950s and 1960s along with numerous Syriac texts that were copied by hand from the great manuscript collections of Paris, London, and the Vatican, in many cases followed by French translations. Many of these recent copies were inherited from the earlier French Syriacist François Nau (1864-1931) and are likely in his hand.
