The 1865 work 'S. Ephraemi Syri, Rabulae episcopi Edesseni, Balaei aliorumque opera selecta' edited by J. Josephus Overbeck is a primary source edition containing Syriac texts, many of which were published for the first time in that volume. While individual components have been translated recently (e.g., the Rabbula corpus in 2017) or appeared in partial selections (e.g., specific hymns of Ephrem), there is no record of a complete English translation of the entire Overbeck collection. The title provided is an English rendering of the Latin title of the Syriac source.
