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 two homilies on the Solitaries. Jacob's pastoral concern and rhetorical acumen have appropriately earned him the title the "lyre of the Holy Spirit". This volume presents Jacob's admonitions to those living a life of consecrated singleness to God. 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.
