J. Edward Walters is a cataloger of Syriac manuscripts for Hill Museum & Manuscript Library in Collegeville, Minnesota. His research focuses on Christianity in late antiquity, especially among Syriac speakers. Walters is particularly interested in the early period of Syriac literature, and much of his research thus far has focused on the fourth-century author Aphrahat, the Persian Sage. More broadly, Walters has written and published on a number of topics pertaining to Syriac Christianity, including several translations of Syriac texts. Walters is also the general editor of the Digital Syriac Corpus, an online repository of digitized Syriac texts.
