Notes: Binyamin Arsanis (1884-1957) was a sincere Assyrian patriot, famous orator and respected writer. He wrote many educational, literary and historical works in modern Assyrian. A number of these were published during his lifetime; however, many of his manuscripts have been lost. In this volume, Youel A. Baaba has collected, edited and annotated 12 books by Binyamin Arsanis. To these he has added commentaries on each book and a biography of their author.
