Abstract

An edition and translation of the four treatises of John of Dara (d. 860) On the Resurrection of Human Bodies. The Christian dogma of resurrection and the ecclesiastical understanding of eschatology are the central points of the treatises. In addition to the spiritual understanding of resurrection, the treatises include material on physical anatomy and psychology, as well as on the philosophical explanation of the elements of creation. The final mimro places the resurrection in the context of the renewal of the whole of creation on the Day of Judgement. Furthermore, the text provides a terminological definition of keywords. Theologically, the concept of the Creator and creation are in focus, along with the logical proof of God's existence, exegetical commentaries on the relevant Biblical passages, and on the vision of the future world.

Abstract

"This anthology includes the writings of a number of Syriac monastic and ascetical writers from the seventh century who were born and educated in Beth Qatraye (Syriac for Qatar or Region of the Qataris). Isaac of Qatar widely known as Isaac of Nineveh, for example, is considered to be the most influential of all Syriac monastic writers and continues to exert a strong influence in monastic circles today. Many of the others like Dadisho of Qatar, Abraham bar Lipah of Qatar, and Ahob of Qatar were important Syriac writers on spirituality and commentators or exegetes within the Church of the East tradition. These writers, who all originated from the Qatar region and were educated there, reveal the presence of an important school of education that rivaled in its sophistication the other more well-known schools such as the School of Nisibis or the School of Edessa. The Syriac writers of Qatar themselves produced some of the best and most sophisticated writing to be found in all Syriac literature of the seventh century. This anthology presents a selection of these writings for the first time in English translation with accompanying Syriac and Garshuni editions."--

Abstract

La langue et l’écriture syriaques constituent les marques identitaires les plus fortes, par lesquelles ces diverses communautés se définissent et autour desquelles elles se rassemblent. En même temps, la façon dont la langue syriaque est perçue et traitée au fil du temps et chez les différents auteurs est complexe et variable et nécessite une réflexion. Si certains la décrivent comme « la langue du Paradis », en l’identifiant avec la langue du premier homme, d’autres en soulignent le lien avec le grec, qui était dans l’Antiquité classique et tardive la langue de la culture et du savoir scientifique. C’est sur le modèle de la grammaire, de la rhétorique et de la logique grecques que se fondent les premières œuvres linguistiques syriaques, entre VIe et VIIIe siècle, et l’influence de ce premier modèle perdura jusqu’au XIIIe siècle. De fait, l’influence grecque en syriaque dépasse les limites de l’imitation littéraire et concerne à la fois l'orthographe et la structure du lexique et de la syntaxe. Elle se révèle même dans la perception que certains auteurs syriaques avaient de leur langue. Nous avons là un domaine de recherche relativement récent, où l’épigraphie et les études sur le contact linguistique nous offrent des perspectives tout à fait stimulantes. Avec la conquête islamique, les populations de langue syriaque sont confrontées aussi à la diffusion officielle de la langue arabe. Cette rencontre influe aussi sur la conception par les auteurs syriaques de la grammaire et, à partir du XIe siècle, plusieurs d’entre eux s’inspirent de la théorie linguistique arabe pour structurer leurs traités, tandis que d’autres organisent la résistance. Si, dans le domaine de la syntaxe, l’arabe propose une approche et des catégories qui ont finalement été, au moins partiellement, assimilées par le syriaque, sur d’autres questions fondamentales le syriaque garda plus solidement son identité. Il suffit de rappeler qu’aucun des plus grands grammairiens syriaques du Moyen Âge n’utilise la notion de la racine trilitère dans la description de la conjugaison verbale, ni celle de la dérivation nominale ou verbale. En dépit de l’importance du sujet pour l’appréhension de la culture syriaque, les études consacrées à l’histoire des sciences du langage sont relativement peu nombreuses. Ce volume se présente comme une première invitation à une approche interdisciplinaire de ce thème majeur, rassemblant les contributions de spécialistes de théorie grammaticale, de rhétorique, de logique, mais aussi de littérature, de linguistique comparée etc.

Abstract

In The Heirs of Theodore Seth M. Stadel examines Aḥob of Qatar, a late 6th-century East Syriac biblical commentator, and his surviving Old Testament exegetical works. He further investigates what can be deduced of Aḥob’s influence on the later East Syriac exegetical tradition, and he details the originality of Aḥob’s exegesis, especially in comparison with earlier and contemporary Greek and Syriac sources. By presenting the first annotated edition, English translation, and study of Aḥob’s extant Old Testament exegetical works, Stadel is able to show that Aḥob represents a distinct voice within the East Syriac exegetical tradition.

Abstract

No one mentions Syriac, - a dialect of the Aramaic language Jesus spoke -, without referring to Sebastian P. Brock, the Oxford scholar and teacher who has written and taught about everything Syriac, even reorienting the field as The Third Lung of early Christianity (along with Greek and Latin). In 2018, Syriac scholars world-wide gathered in Sigtuna, Sweden, to celebrate with Sebastian his accomplishments and share new directions. Through essays showing what Syriac studies have attained, where they are going, as well as some arenas and connections previously not imagined, flavors of the fruits of laboring in the field are offered.

Abstract

"Syriac "Sayings of Greek Philosophers" (SGP) is a corpus of sentences preserved in a number of Syriac manuscripts in the form of different collections and under different titles (until now these sentences were mainly referred to as "On the Soul"). SGP consists of two main blocks of sentences represented by two gnomic anthologies, the "Dublin Florilegium," consisting of short maxims, and the "Tur 'Abdin Florilegium," including longer expositions in moral philosophy, or "counsels." The first introductory part of the book not only describes the textual witnesses of SGP, but also surveys all other extant gnomic materials attributed to Greek philosophers and poets (the Seven Sages, Homer, Plato, Menander, Pythagoras, Theano, etc.), including gnomologia, florilegia, exempla, and doxography. Two chapters of the introduction focus on the pedagogical use of the gnomic materials mainly connected with the new Christian forms of rhetorical education based on the study of the Bible and on the texts of Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus. The second part of the book contains a critical edition of SGP on the basis of 15 manuscripts."--

Abstract

"From the 6th century onwards, Syriac patristic florilegia - collections of Greek patristic excerpts in Syriac translation - progressively became a prominent form through which Syriac and Arab Christians shaped their knowledge of theology. In these collections, early Greek Christian literature underwent a substantial process of selection and re-organization. The papers collected in this volume study Syriac florilegia in their own right, as cultural products possessing their own specific textuality, and outline a phenomenology of Syriac patristic florilegia by mapping their diffusion and relevance in time and space, from the 6th to the 17th century, from the Roman Empire to China"--
