The Catholicos of the East and His People

by Arthur John Maclean

Describes the life and customs, both ancient and modern, of the modern Assyrians ("Nestorians") who formed in the nineteenth century a remarkable outpost of Christianity in the Middle East. The authors rely in their descriptions on the Sunhadus, or Book of Canon Law, which governs that Church even today.
