Abstract

Die Angehörigen der "Kirche des Ostens", die so genannten Ostsyrer, erreichten mit ihrer Mission Persien, Indien und China. Dabei verbreiteten sie auch das spätantike Bildungsgut des 5./6. Jahrhundert n. Chr., das in ihren Schulen jahrhundertelang gelehrt wurde. Dieser Band untersucht die Präsenz und Funktion griechischen Wissens in verschiedenen Werken und dokumentiert so die Vermittlungsleistung der Ostsyrer zwischen Griechen, Persern und dem frühen Islam. Im Zentrum der Beiträge stehen die Schule von Nisibis mit der "Ursache der Gründung der Schulen" des Barḥaḏbšabbā, die ostsyrische Mystik und ihre Quellen, die Briefe des Patriarchen Timotheos, die hier bezeugte frühe syrische Version des Koran und die Weiterwirkung ostsyrischen Gutes bei Gregor Barhebraeus im 13. Jahrhundert. Insbesondere erinnert der Band an den Erzbischof und Wissenschaftler Mār Addai Scher, seine Leistung für die Erhaltung des ostsyrischen Erbes sowie seinen Märtyrertod in den osmanischen Christenverfolgungen des ersten Weltkriegs. Members of the Church of the East, also called the East Syrians, were spread across Persia, India, and China. For centuries, their schools throughout these areas spread the educational curriculum of late antiquity from the fifth and sixth centuries. This book examines the presence and function of Greek knowledge in various works, documenting how the East Syrians became a hub of exchange between Greek, Persian and Early Islamic cultures.

Abstract

The School of Nisibis was the main intellectual center of the Church of the East in the sixth and early seventh centuries C.E. and an institution of learning unprecedented in antiquity. Fear of God and the Beginning of Wisdom provides a history both of the School and of the scholastic culture of the Church of the East more generally in the late antique and early Islamic periods. Adam H. Becker examines the ideological and intellectual backgrounds of the school movement and reassesses the evidence for the supposed predecessor of the School of Nisibis, the famed School of the Persians of Edessa. Furthermore, he argues that the East-Syrian ("Nestorian") school movement is better understood as an integral and at times contested part of the broader spectrum of East-Syrian monasticism. Becker examines the East-Syrian culture of ritualized learning, which flourished at the same time and in the same place as the famed Babylonian Rabbinic academies. Jews and Christians in Mesopotamia developed similar institutions aimed at inculcating an identity in young males that defined them as beings endowed by their creator with the capacity to study. The East-Syrian schools are the most significant contemporary intellectual institutions immediately comparable to the Rabbinic academies, even as they served as the conduit for the transmission of Greek philosophical texts and ideas to Muslims in the early 'Abbasid period.
