Dear AMIR readers,
As many of you have noted, the daily e-mail edition of AMIR has not been functioning for some time. We believe we have identified and solved the problem, and as a consequence AMIR produced an email digest around mid-day (our time) today. We trust it will function regularly from now on.
Those of you reading AMIR directly on the website, or via Facebook or Twitter, and who may wish to receive the daily email should click through here and enter your email address in the Feedburner window on the right-hand sidebar. At present there are more than two thousand email subscribers. The AMIR syndication to Facebook has 2506 likes. In twitter, the AMIR feed is combined with that of AWOL: @AWOL_tweets AMIR readers are welcome at any of these places.
We welcome thoughts on how AMIR might be improved, and we invite you to submit any open access scholarly material you believe would be of interest in the study of the Middle Eastern and Islamic Worlds.

The Greek-Arabic New Testament Interlinear Project (GrArNTI)
The Greek-Arabic New Testament Interlinear Project (GrArNTI)
Connecting the Greek New Testament and the Smith-Van Dyck Arabic Translation Through Interlinears
Those who are new to the project may be wondering about the meaning of the expressions “Greek-Arabic Interlinear” and “Arabic-Greek Reverse Interlinear”
What is an interlinear?
Interlinears contain a word-by-word alignment of a document (source text) and a translation. In such an alignment, the word order of the source text is preserved. In addition to the source text and translation, an interlinear can contain additional information for each word such as how the word appears in the dictionary, additional meanings, and grammatical information about the word.
Below is an example of Greek-Arabic interlinear text; the words in Greek are shown in the original word order and the corresponding translated Arabic words are aligned below them.
What is a reverse interlinear?
A reverse interlinear is just like an interlinear except that the translation is displayed in the original word order.
Below is an example of Arabic-Greek reverse interlinear text; the words of the Arabic translation are shown in the original word order and the corresponding Greek words are aligned below them.
