Recognized as a saint by both Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian Christians alike, Jacob of Sarug (d. 521) produced many narrative poems that have rarely been translated into English. Of his reported 760 metrical homilies, only about half survive. Part of a series of fascicles containing the bilingual Syriac-English editions of Saint Jacob of Sarug’s homilies, this volume contains his homily on the red heifer slaughter ritual in Numbers 19. For Jacob, the narrative is a prefigurement of Christ's death and its ability to restore and permanently purify all who enter the church through baptism. The Syriac text is fully vocalized, and the translation is annotated with a commentary and biblical references. The volume is one of the fascicles of Gorgias Press’s The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain all of Jacob’s surviving sermons.

Among the most intriguing and confounding works of Jan van Eyck’s oeuvre are the Crucifixion and Last Judgment in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Although acquired in 1933 as a diptych, questions have remained about their initial configuration, and how these paintings functioned. The recent technical investigations of the paintings and their original frames added further complexities to these inquiries when a fragmentary text in Middle Dutch was discovered through X-radiography on the frames surrounding the two paintings. The many facets of the ensuing investigation necessitated an interdisciplinary collaboration of researchers involving an art historian, paintings conservator, and museum scientist – namely, Maryan Ainsworth, Sophie Scully, and Silvia Centeno. Moreover, the new discovery of the formerly hidden text called for the enrichment of the interdisciplinary team by a paleographer and a classical philologist, Marc Smith and Christina Meckelnborg. This book relates the unfolding story of the investigations from in-depth technical research, facilitating the conservation treatment of the frames, to the art historical study that connected these findings to the religious, political, and social contexts of the times. Through considerable interdisciplinary detective work, it was possible to reach a new understanding about the original form and function of the Crucifixion and Last Judgment and their pivotal role concerning devotions to a cherished relic, the Miraculous Bleeding Host, housed in the then collegiate church of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula in Brussels. The implications of these discoveries also shed new light on the relationship between The Met Crucifixion and Van Eyck’s metalpoint drawing of the same theme in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. Finally, the study of the Crucifixion and the Last Judgment draws attention to commissions Van Eyck received that are somewhat outside of the canon of works usually associated with this esteemed artist.

L’auteur part du principe que les racines du vieux contentieux entre l’islam et le christianisme ont des apparences politiques et socio-économiques, mais sont en réalité d’ordre structurel. L’intolérance se fonde sur une certaine vision de Dieu, une compréhension de la foi et une lecture du Livre saint. Il puise donc dans les écrits de Mgr Georges Khodr, un pasteur et théologien arabe, quelques propositions herméneutiques et théologiques parmi les multiples recommandations pour un meilleur vivre-ensemble islamo-chrétien au Moyen-Orient. Parmi ces propositions, il y a un appel à revisiter le passé en approfondissant quelques notions déformées comme les propriétés de la civilisation arabe, l’identité des Nassarah mentionnés dans le Coran et le rôle des chrétiens arabes dans les croisades. La deuxième proposition herméneutique est un appel à revivifier des lectures nouvelles du Livre de l’islam qui favorisent une religion à la fois fidèle à ses origines et ouverte aux réalités nouvelles du monde. Parmi les propositions théologiques, Khodr invite d’abord à la rencontre autour du Christ et de sa mère, des figures qui peuvent susciter une proximité affective et spirituelle entre les fidèles des deux religions, et appelle ensuite les musulmans à regarder la crucifixion comme l’accomplissement de l’appel coranique à l’islam [obéissance, soumission] absolu et inconditionnel à Dieu. L’auteur approfondit les propositions khodriennes en vue de les confirmer, de les rejeter ou de les nuancer, et soumet à son tour de nouvelles propositions et ouvertures.
