English, Turkish, German, Hard Cover, 367 pages.

This is the first pictorial account of Turabdin, the holy mountain of Syriac Christianity. Because of the monks, who lived in the approximately 80 monasteries there, the area became one of the centres of the oldest Christian traditions. However, in the West this holy mountain has remained almost completely unknown. Who knows that the Christians of Turabdin still speak the language of Jesus in their daily lives? This plateau south of the Tigris, with its beautiful landscape, contains ancient monuments, the likes of which cannot be found anywhere else. The photographs are supplemented by a profound account of its history, culture and way of life.
