Books in the Syriac Studies Library series

This volume presents, in Syriac and English, Job of Edessa's encyclopedic work covering all manner of scientific topics. It will be of interest to readers interested in Aristotelianism and the intellectual climate of the Middle East around the ninth century.

In this volume, Feldman gives the Syriac text of eight dialogue poems (sogyatha) by Narsai together with a German translation; various biblical narratives are presented, as well as dialogues between Cyril and Nestorius, and the Persian king and some martyrs.

From two manuscripts, Lagarde has produced the text of the Syriac version of the Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions and Homilies (10-14). The Recognitions had also been translated into Latin, and Lagarde provides a concordance for the two translations.

This still standard study on Nestorius is guided by the question: Did Nestorius mean what people have thought that he meant? Chapters cover the sources and content for our knowledge about his teaching.
