Assyrian Printing in the USA (1915-1943): John Baba: Volume III

John Baba (Aghajan Baba of Seir) edited and published Kitavona, or the Assyrian Chronicle, an Assyrian monthly magazine published in Chicago between 1932 and 1937. In addition to the magazine, twelve other works that he printed have come down to us. This volume contains three items: a hymnal collected and arranged by Joash Z. Benjamin, a poem entitled “The Future of the World” by Elia Sargis of Ada, and a collection of poems by Mooshie B. Joseph of Mazraya Tkhooma. This volume is part of a series that aims at preserving Assyrian literature printed in the United States during the era of letterpress. It was inspired by the bibliographic research of J. F. Coakley who has provided the introduction to the volume.
