An edition and study of an 8th-9th century Syriac manuscript from Bulayïq near Turfan, the earliest extant witness of the Penqita or ḥudra.In 1905, a substantial Syriac manuscript of 60 leaves, containing a Christian service-book, was discovered by the second German Turfan Expedition at the monastery site of Bulayïq. Since then, although the existence of this manuscript (which has received the signature of MIK III 45) has been mentioned from time to time in the scholarly literature, its text has never been published. The present volume offers ‘for the first time’ an edition of the Syriac text, English translation and critical introduction to MIK III 45. The Syriac text is of the Penqita, the book later known as the ḥudra, containing the variable parts of the daily offices and eucharist, to which have been appended some occasional services of the Church of the East, including the burial service. The 60 folios are the surviving part (about one quarter) of a manuscript datable to the eighth or ninth century and, on account of this dating, can be considered to be the earliest extant witness to the Penqita which was the project of the seventh-century patriarch Isho'yab III who drew up the outline for the ecclesiastical year that is still followed today in the Church of the East. The editors argue that MIK III 45 was probably written in Merv –it would be the only Syriac manuscript known from that Christian centre – for transport to the Christian church in distant Turfan

Longtemps envisagé essentiellement comme support et transmetteur de textes, le manuscrit, dans le domaine des études syriaques, a fait récemment l’objet d’une attention renouvelée. C’est désormais aussi le livre lui-même dans sa matérialité qui est étudié, comme objet de la culture syriaque et témoignage sur la vie des hommes qui les ont copiés, décorés, lus et conservés. Ce volume s’inscrit dans ce courant de recherches. Consacré aux manuscrits syriaques, il est issu d’une session sur le sujet organisée dans le cadre du XIe Symposium Syriacum à La Valette (Malte) en 2012. Il envisage les manuscrits aussi bien du point de vue des textes qui y sont préservés que du livre en lui-même. Quatre approches principales ont été retenues : la présentation de projets en cours de numérisation, de catalogage et de description des manuscrits dans diverses collections ; des études consacrées au manuscrit comme objet concret, à ses matériaux et à sa fabrication ; l’analyse du travail du copiste de l’écriture et la décoration aux informations fournies par les colophons ; et enfin des travaux d’identification et d’édition des textes manuscrits. Cette publication se veut un point d’étape, dans l’attente que les données nouvelles sur les manuscrits issues des catalogues désormais plus détaillés et de la base de données e-ktobe, permettent d’écrire une véritable histoire du livre syriaque.

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.
