The Xi'an Stele, erected in Tang China's capital in 781, describes in both Syriac and Chinese the existence of Christian communities in northern China. While scholars have so far considered the Stele exclusively in relation to the Chinese cultural and historical context, Todd Godwin here demonstrates that it can only be fully understood by reconstructing the complex connections that existed between the Church of the East, Sasanian aristocratic culture and the Tang Empire (617-907) between the fall of the Sasanian Persian Empire (225-651) and the birth of the Abbasid Caliphate (762-1258). Through close textual re-analysis of the Stele and by drawing on ancient sources in Syriac, Greek, Arabic and Chinese, Godwin demonstrates that Tang China (617-907) was a cosmopolitan milieu where multiple religious traditions, namely Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism and Christianity, formed zones of elite culture. Syriac Christianity in fact remained powerful in Persia throughout the period, and Christianity - not Zoroastrianism - was officially regarded by the Tang government as 'The Persian Religion'.Persian Christians at the Chinese Court uncovers the role played by Syriac Christianity in the economic and cultural integration of late Sasanian Iran and China, and is important reading for all scholars of the Church of the East, China and the Middle East in the medieval period.--

Vom 1. bis 3. Juli 2016 fand unter reger Beteiligung in den Räumlichkeiten des Collegium Orientale sowie des Collegium Willibaldinum in Eichstätt der IX. Deutsche Syrologentag statt. Er wurde vonseiten der "Forschungsstelle Christlicher Orient" der Katholischen Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt ausgerichtet und fand konfessionsübergreifend ein lebhaftes Echo in der Fachwelt. Namhafte Experten und junge Nachwuchswissenschaftler präsentierten zwei Tage lang die Ergebnisse ihrer Arbeiten. Die Tagung war geprägt von Begegnungen mit der Gemeinschaft des Collegium Orientale, welches in seinen Gottesdiensten den liturgischen Schatz der syrischen Tradition präsent werden ließ und einen öffentlichen Festakt ausrichtete, der ganz im Zeichen des reichen Erbes und der bedrohten Zukunft der irakischen Christenheit stand. Der vorliegende Sammelband vereint die wissenschaftlichen Beiträge der Tagung zu allen Gebieten der Syrologie: Sprache, Theologie, Kirchengeschichte, christlich-islamische Beziehungen, Kultur, Liturgie, aber auch zur brisanten Gegenwartslage, die vom Exodus nahöstlicher Christen aus ihren Stammlanden gekennzeichnet ist.
