Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book provides a re-edition and translation of the Syriac legal parchments of the mid 3rd century CE from Upper Mesopotamia, along with extensive commentary. These documents constitute our earliest significant evidence of the Syriac language and script, since only short epigraphs on stone and in mosaics survive otherwise. The texts are reproduced in Syriac script and in transliteration, while plates of the documents and script charts are also included, along with chapters devoted to script and language (in the context of the development of the later Classical Syriac forms) and to law (in the context of the adaptation of Aramaic law to Romanization).

This early version was titled "Rebels Die Young." Unable to find distribution, Phelan added what turned out to be some of the earliest known sexploitation scenes filmed in the US. It starred Brenda Denaut (subject of this photograph), the mother of Roseanne, Patricia, David, and Alexis Arquette. as well as Andy Warhol mainstay Taylor Mead in his first film role. It wouldn't be until five years later, after sexploitation films began to gain traction with US distributors, that Phelan was able to get the film booked at the Rialto Theatre on Broadway. It played for four months there before getting limited US distribution. It re-emerged in 2017 when it was screened at the Anthology Film Archives in New York.
