Dear Colleague,

I am writing to you about our Aram Society and its updated website.

1.	Aram Periodical volumes 18 and 19 have appeared. You can obtain  
copies from our publisher at their address: Peeters Publishers,  
Bondgenotelaan 153, 3000 Leuven, Belgium, orders at peeters-leuven.be.  
If you would like to know more about the contents please open  
attachment.
2.	Our conference at the Oriental Institute, Chicago University on  
“Modern Syriac Literature” was a great success and we will repeat our  
conferences in the USA every two years with different academic  
venues. These will be announced in due time. If you would like a copy  
of the Chicago Conference proceedings, please open our website  
(www.aramsociety.org), “Past Conferences”.
3.	Our conference at Sydney University on the Mandaeans was also  
another success with wonderful collaboration by the Australian  
Mandaean community. We will keep Sydney University as a base for Aram  
Society to organise conferences in the Far East. If you would like to  
see a copy of the Sydney Programme, please open our website  
(www.aramsociety.org), “Past Conferences”.
4.	We would like to inform you about our new forthcoming Aram  
conferences worldwide. Please open our website (www.aramsociety.org),  
“Forthcoming Conferences”.
5.	Aram is updating its own web site with a complete list of  
contributors to our Aram periodicals and a complete list of all past  
conferences. Please open our website: www.aramsociety.org “Directory  
of contributors”.
6.	The Decapolis Conference is going on well and the number of  
speakers may mean that we extend the duration of the Conference by  
another day. This is because the subject matter is so important and  
we welcome all specialists on the subject who are willing to  
participate in the Conference. I would advise members of the  
Conference to keep Thursday 10 July 2008 free for this purpose. For  
the list of speakers, please open our website (www.aramsociety.org),  
“Current Conferences”.

The Aram electronic monthly newsletter will keep you updated on the  
Aram academic activities.
Yours sincerely,
Shafiq Abouzayd
