The Ecclesiastical History of Bar ‘Ebroyo has long been recognized as a crucial source for the history of the Eastern churches in the Mongol period but it has hardly been appreciated as a literary work on its own. Over the past decades, further study on Bar ‘Ebroyo has permitted to dismiss his undeserved label of unoriginal epistomist and to reassess the value of his work. This book seeks to inject that perspective into the study of Bar ‘Ebroyo as an ecclesiastical historian and it argues that his Ecclesiastical History offers an original historical narration that encompasses geo-ecclesiology, theology and political theory. Often read as a mere abridgment of Michael the Great’s Chronicle, the Ecclesiastical History incorporates a number of additional sources and deploys specific narratological tools to convey a unique vision of history that results from the cultural, political and personal circumstances in which Bar ‘Ebroyo wrote his work. In short, the Ecclesiastical History shows how the long-lived tradition of the Church history writing was adjusted to respond to the specific challenges that the political and religious landscape of 13th century Middle East posed to the Syrian Orthodox community.

Ephrem the Syrian’s six Metrical Discourses on Faith reflect on issues central to or arising from the Arian controversy as it manifested in the Syriac-speaking churches: the unique status of the Son of God, the distinction between creator and creation, and especially the problem of human audacity in the quest for knowledge of God. Like Ephrem’s other works, these discourses are replete with biblical language and brimming with creative symbolism. However, being less terse and allusive in style than many of his other poems, they also serve as a crucial exposition of some of his most fundamental ideas and a relatively accessible introduction to his thought as a whole. This is the first complete English translation of the whole collection, accompanied by a detailed introduction and copious explanatory notes.

Narsai († ca. 500) was a founding theologian of the Church of the East. Active first at the School of the Persians in Edessa and later at the School of Nisibis, Narsai creatively synthesized his native Syriac tradition with the newly translated works of Antiochene theology and exegesis. In a time of theological upheaval, his works helped forge a new theological tradition in Syriac. This groundbreaking collection of original essays refocuses attention on this fascinating Late Antique thinker and illustrates his importance for understanding Christianity in Late Antiquity. The essays highlight Narsai's contributions to exegesis, asceticism and moral formation, Jewish-Christian relations, liturgical theology, and place his work and thought within the cultural and intellectual world of two leading Christian centers in the Roman-Persian frontiers in the fifth century.

The first part consists of the clavis itself: It is organized by homily providing for each a number, a short title, the incipit, the manuscript attestation, previous editions and translations, previous scholarship, and additional notes, when applicable. The second part is a study of manuscripts that contain collections of homilies attributed (primarily) to Narsai. For each manuscript, the following information is provided: date, catalogue-type description of contents, bibliography, and notes. The third part is a series of concordances that link the present work to previous publications as well as to the incipits. The volume also contains a curated bibliography on Narsai.

Abdisho bar Brika begann sein Werk "Paradies von Eden" 1290/91 n. Chr. und beendete es im Jahr 1316. Das Werk ist in zwei Teile gegliedert. Der erste Teil wurde nach Henoch, der zweite nach Eliya benannt. 'Abdisho's "Paradies" blieb ein Unikat. Seine Überlieferung zeigt aber insbesondere ab dem 16. Jh. einen sehr hohen Grad an schriftlicher Rezeption. 'Abdisho's Kunstfertigkeit besteht darin, die besondere Form der Maqamen in einen anderen Kulturkreis zu überführen. Die vorliegende Studie beleuchtet mit der Untersuchung 'Abdisho's Werk als eine syrisch-christliche Maqame im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs; einen neuen Aspekt in der Entwicklung des über zahlreiche nahöstliche Literaturen verbreiteten Maqamen-Genres. Weder in der Maqamenforschung noch in der syrischen Literatur war bisher die Existenz der syrisch-christlichen Maqamen bekannt, die sich als unterprivilegiertes Literaturgenre in verschiedenen Zeitaltern entwickelt haben. Hier liegt nun die Erstedition des "Paradieses von Eden" anhand der bisher unveröffentlichten Handschriften sowie die erste vollständige deutsche Übersetzung des Werks vor.
