In this study, scholars illuminate a hybrid Greek and Italian culture by examining an elaborately carved sixteenth-century cross. This cross, dated by its box to the sixteenth century, features fairly standard Christian iconography, but where we might expect the Orthodox form—for example, the Anastasis, imagery of Christ breaking down the gates of Hell—we have instead the Western imagery of the Resurrection, showing a tomb and the sleeping soldiers. Inscriptions on the cross are mostly in Latin, but sometimes lapse into transcribed Greek. Contributors seek to identify the cross' carver in order to speculate about his life, and study how he and his art reflect this hybrid Greek-Italian culture.

The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are considered dark ages of Syriac history. The lack of historical sources reflects the disastrous decline of their society and culture under the Mameluke and Ottoman Empires. The Bodleian Library in Oxford currently holds an unpublished historical document in Syriac, containing precious historical information with regards to the ordination of bishops, priests, monks, and deacons. In this volume, Iskandar Bcheiry provides the text and translation, focuses on comparing the document with historical data from other sources. He argues that the importance of this list extends beyond its role of recording successive ordinations, opening a historical window into villages, monasteries, churches, and ecclesiastical leaders who played important roles within the Syriac Orthodox Church during the Ottoman period for an entire century.
Iskandar Bcheiry is also the author of Repentance and Fasting from an Ascetical Perspective: A Comparative Reading of Jacob of Serugh and an Unpublished Shortened Version of a Collection of Homilies by Severus of Antioch.
Sebastian P. Brock provides basic guidance to important areas of Syriac studies. Brock explores the relevance of Syriac studies to a variety of other fields, notably biblical studies, patristics, and the general history of the Near East. He offers a brief orientation to the history of Syriac literature, and sets Syriac within the context of the other Aramaic dialects. He discusses important tools (Instrumenta Studiorum) both for the student commencing study in the field and scholars working in adjacent areas..
Brock includes grammars, dictionaries, the Bible in Syriac, histories of Syriac literature, bibliographical aids and relevant series, periodicals, and encyclopedias. An appendix explains how the different churches of Syriac tradition are related to one another and how they fit into the Christian tradition as a whole, sorting out the confusing variety of terms by which they are known.
This may be called an introduction, but it is worth the time reading through for any student or experienced scholar. . . . Brock's enthusiasm and delight in the subject quickly infect even the oldest hand. There are certainly other scholars who could compile a similarly excellent introduction to the study of Syriac; here we may listen to the voice of the scholar who has had a significant role in putting it all together.
—Robert A. Kitchen, Knox-Metropolitan United Church, Regina, Saskatchewan
Sebastian P. Brock was born in 1938 and studied classics and oriental studies at Cambridge University before earning his DPhil at Oxford University. He has taught at the Universities of Birmingham, Cambridge, and Oxford, where he was reader in Syriac studies. He published extensively in the field of Syriac and edited a number of new texts.
Ilaria L.E. Ramelli critically analyzes and compares sources on Bardaisan, allowing us to reinterpret his thought. Her study presents profound points of contact between Bardaisan and Origen and their schools, and it evaluates the fragments preserved by Porphyry. She also assesses the role of Plato's Timaeus and Middle Platonism in Bardaisan's thought. Her conclusion undermines the picture of a Gnostic and heretic Bardaisan.
Ramelli analysis shows how some charges against Bardaisan prove unfounded. Bardaisan's thought emerges as deeply Christian, dependent on Scripture and read in the light of Greek philosophy—similar to Origen, and Philo before him. She reveals how other ancient sources present Bardaisan as a deacon, or even a presbyter, fighting against Marcionism and Gnosticism, and remaining true to the Christian faith despite persecution.
Ilaria L.E.Ramelli holds two masters degrees in early Christianity and history of philosophy, a PhD in Classics, and a postdoctorate in late antiquity. She received two Agostino Gemelli Awards (1996, 1997) for the best Catholic-University graduate, and the 2006 Marcello Gigante Classics International Award. She has been professor of history of the Roman Near East, and assistant of history of ancient philosophy since 2003 at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Milan, as well as senior research fellow in ancient and patristic philosophy at Durham University.
The Syriac Orthodox prelate and polymath Gregory Abu al-Faraj Barhebraeus (Bar `Ebroyo) is indisputably the greatest author of the twelth- and thirteenth-century Syriac "Renaissance." His works have been studied extensively over the past four centuries. There has, however, been little study in recent years aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of his life and works—Hidemi Takahasi attempts to fill this gap.
Takahashi begins by sketching out Barhebraeus' life, considering the results of the latest research as well as classic historical studies. He then surveys the maphrian's works and delineates these works' outstanding characteristics. The appendix contains a comprehensive bibliography of editions and studies relating to Barhebraeus, along with an updated list of the manuscripts of his works.
The true merit of this book is the detailed description of hundreds of manuscripts containing the works of Barhebraeus. The author personally gathered abundant data from these manuscripts, many of which were extremely difficult to obtain. They were found in the libraries of the near and middle east or in private collections. Many had never been catalogued. These efforts make this bibliography a true first in Syriac and Christian-Arabic prosopography, something which has been lacking in Syriac research. Two indexes (proper names, places, manuscripts) provide a first-rate research resource. They allow for full usage of the data of this exemplary bibliography on one of the most important authors of Syriac literature.

David Bertaina examines the history of discourse between Christians and Muslims in the Middle East, from the pre-Islamic period until the eve of the Crusades. Linked by a common geography and claim to the true religion, Eastern Christians and Muslims composed texts in the form of dialogues, in light of their encounters with one another. Bertaina surveys the development of this literary genre and how dialogues came to determine patterns of conversation. Each chapter highlights a thematic feature of the dialogue form, demonstrating that Christian and Muslim authors did not part ways in the first century of Islamic rule. Bertaina argues that Christians and Muslims integrated into the dominant Islamic culture in a symbiotic fashion, articulating an explicit identity while simultaneously incorporating the realities of religious pluralism into their communities.
Christian and Muslim Dialogues: The Religious Uses of a Literary Form in the Early Islamic Middle East is an informative book which meaningfully contributes to the literature on the religious meanings of pre-modern interreligious dialogical production.
—Caterina Bori, Adamantius 19 (2013): 607
David Bertaina is associate professor of history at the University of Illinois at Springfield. He also taught at California State University, Chico. He eared his PhD in Semitic languages and literatures from the Catholic University of America.
In the Ottoman Empire, Syriac communities kept their own baptismal books, marriage, funeral, and other records, but not all these have survived. However, many Syriac records can still be found in various libraries, churches, and monasteries in the West and East—especially in Mardin, once the headquarters of the Syriac nation and their patriarchate. The Syriac Garšuni manuscript found in the Church of the 40 Martyrs in Mardin contains several lists of different subjects that go back to the late period of the Ottoman Empire. In this volume, these lists are published for the first time. Complete with annotations, the lists are an important historical source not only for Syriac communities, but also for the social, economic, cultural, and religious history of places in the Near East, during the nineteenth century.
Iskandar Bcheiry is also the author of Repentance and Fasting from an Ascetical Perspective: A Comparative Reading of Jacob of Serugh and an Unpublished Shortened Version of a Collection of Homilies by Severus of Antioch.
Can a church division of fifteen centuries be brought to an end? In the early 1960s this question occupied the thoughts of a courageous and brilliant international group of theologians—bishops, priests, and laymen. These members of the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches sought to discover the truth behind the separation of the two bodies following the Council of Chalcedon (451), the so-called "Monophysite Schism." The original inter-Orthodox ecumenical partners, and those who followed them in the course of four decades, have returned to the theological sources of the medieval Eastern Christian Fathers for their investigations. Armed with modern scholarship, they have objectively engaged the issues which caused and maintained the schism.
Far from an academic exercise, the ultimate goal of this work is to accomplish what only decades ago seemed impossible: to unite the Catholic and Orthodox church communions. Common Heritage, Divided Communion draws the reader into the odyssey of inter-Orthodox unity. Beginning with a review of life in early conciliar era Christian society, Kenneth F. Yossa discusses the key events leading to the convocation of Chalcedon, the ecclesial unraveling which followed it, and the success and failures in reunion efforts in the first millennium. Projecting to the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries, this book engages and evaluates the inter-Orthodox efforts of mutual ecumenical cooperation and understanding—and the challenges which continue in the work of Christian rapprochement and reconciliation.
Kenneth F. Yossa lectures in religion at Excelsior College. He received his MA in Theology (Church History) from Seton Hall University, and his doctorate in Religious Studies (Systematic Theology) from Marquette University. He has lectured at Marquette, Franciscan University, Dickinson College and the Catholic University of Louvain. His ongoing research interests include ecclesiology, liturgy, ecumenism, and the interface of science and religion.
Cyriacus of Tagrit was patriarch of the Syrian Orthodox Church of Antioch between 793 and 817 under the Abbasid Caliphate—a turbulent and divided period in the history of his church in the Middle East. Mikael Oez compiles all of his extant and accessible writings, providing annotated English translations. Oez contextualizes and analyzes Cyriacus' concerns and priorities—both theological and ecclesio-political—on the basis of this editorial work, and making use of all other available historical sources.
Oez pays particular attention to Cyriacus' major composition, The Book on Divine Providence, which explores such issues as the consequences of human free will and divine omniscience and omnipotence; the causes of evil; the influence of fates, fortune, and astrology; whether the time of an individual's death is predetermined; the fate of the soul after death; and the evidence of the working of divine providence throughout history.
Mikael Oez is a lecturer in Eastern and Orthodox Christianity and Syriac studies at the department of the study of religions, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.
Stephen Thomas brings together the best of contemporary exegesis with the tradition of Eastern Christianity, illustrating the biblical roots of the Eastern Church's understanding of grace as the energy of God. His text discusses grace as a transforming experience which exalts the Christian to a state in which sharing in the divine life is possible—first as a pledge in this earthly life, then in paradise and at last in a glorious body at the final resurrection. The book a framework for a twenty-first-century Orthodox biblical theology. It will be of interest to all Christians for whom the Bible is divine revelation and for whom tradition continues to be creative.
Stephen Thomas was senior lecturer in Christian theology, Canterbury Christ Church University. He holds degrees from Oxford and London Universities and has a doctorate from Durham University, England. He is also the author of Newman and Heresy, and has written numerous articles on the relationship of theology to philosophy and on conscience in Orthodox thought.
This work explores the similarities and differences between the idea of divine embodiment developed by Maximos the Confessor (580–662)—one of the greatest Greek Fathers—and Tsong kha pa (1357–1419)—perhaps the most important thinker in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. Thomas Cattoi explores how a comparison between Maximos' participatory ontology and Tsong kha pa's construal of Buddhahood illumines the Chalcedonian understanding of incarnation, and helps us articulate a Christocentric theology of religions that appreciates the value of religious difference.
Thomas Cattoi is assistant professor of Christology and cultures at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley, which is part of the Graduate Theological Union. He holds degrees in economics and philosophy from Oxford and London Universities, as well as a PhD in systematic theology from Boston College. His main interests are in the fields of Greek Patristics and Tibetan Buddhism.

This volume contains papers from the First International Congress on Eastern Christianity held in Córdoba, Spain, November 2005.
The contributions in this volume address ecclesiastical history, theology, exegesis, as well as literature, cultural contacts, manuscript tradition and transmission, and linguistics. One of the most important political changes in the Middle Ages was the rise of Islam and the subsequent arrival of Islamic power, and these events are reflected ideologically in many of the contributions. Collectively, the studies gathered in the present volume constitute surveys of particular areas of Christiana and they investigate several issues in the transmission of Christian culture, mainly in Arabic, Greek, and Syriac, but also in Latin. Contributors include Samir Khalil Samir, Juan Nadal Cañellas, Clare E. Wilde, Ángel Urbán Fernández, Juan Pedro Monferrer-Sala, Massimo Pazzini, Francisco del Río Sánchez, and Sofía Torallas Tovar.

Kassia the Nun offers a unique glimpse into ninth-century Byzantium as the only woman whose works were included in the corpus of liturgical hymns. This volume explores Kassia's thought on Christology, on gender, and on monasticism itself. Kurt Sherry's analysis provides readers with an opportunity to know this woman of remarkable intellect, wit, and piety by drawing primarily on her own words. He critically examines the most famous vignette of her life: a heated exchange of wits with the Emperor Theophilos. Sherry examines the way Kassia articulated the partisan theology of the iconophiles. Kassia's is one of the only female voices from ninth-century Byzantium and this volume accordingly examines her reflections on gender in the context of her society and concludes that she represents a perspective that might be described as feminist.
Kurt Sherry earned his MA in history and religious studies from the University of Wyoming.
This volume was prepared as a Festschrift for Sebastian P. Brock, a recognized leader in the field of Syriac studies. It contains 34 essays from a variety of scholars across the discipline—the studies reflect the broad scope of Brock's professional and intellectual interests, his many years of friendship with colleagues, and his devotion and commitment to training a new generation of academics. Contributions are in English, French, and German, and are made by scholars from the United States, Europe, and Asia. The breadth of the submissions illustrates the multiplicity of approaches taken in contemporary Syriac studies, and while no overall limitations were set for the contributions, a lively interest in Jacob of Serug remains evident. No scholar in this discipline will want to miss this important collection that represents the latest in serious exploration of the world of Eastern Christianity in late antiquity. In addition to the essays, a bibliography of Sebastian Brock's works, and two appreciations complete this noteworthy volume.

As a possible solution to the impasse between theology and exegesis, contributors explore the potential insights provided by a distinct interpretive tradition of the the patristic School of Antioch and in the Syriac Fathers, such as Ephrem and Jacob of Sarug. Some of the essays have a patristic focus, examining Aphrahat, Ephrem, the fourth-century Book of Steps, John Chrysostom, and other Syriac fathers. Others scholars engage with modern historical-critical method more directly, and challenge the very assumption assumed by other contributors of an Antiochene "School." The volume concludes with a series of responses from Paul Russell, Robert Miller, and Ronald Beshara, respectively, that consider the various essays from different angles.
Robert D. Miller is associate professor of Old Testament and biblical studies area director at the Catholic University of America.
This volume from the Pro Oriente Studies in Syriac Tradition acknowledges the contributions of Syriac Christians in the fields of culture, education, and civil society throughout the history in the Middle East and India.

The text deals with the experience of Christians and Muslims living together in the modern Middle East, and with the Christians and Hindus in India. The book also elaborates the vital problem of continuous movement of Christians away from India and the Middle East.

Despite having been written over a century ago, the 3rd edition of Rubens Duval's History of Syriac Literature remains one of the best—and most readable—introductions to Syriac literature. This edition provides the first English translation of the work, translated by Olivier Holmey. Part I of this text deals with Syriac literature by genre, and part II provides a chronological overview of Syriac authors. This English edition also includes an index of names.
Rubens Duval (1839–1911) was a French orientalist and specialist of Aramaic.
This volume provides an analysis of a late fifteenth-century document, a previously unpublished narration of the life and accomplishments of Yuanun Bar Šay Allah, a fifteenth-century Syriac Orthodox Patriarch. This biographical account is part of a Syriac manuscript found in Cambridge University Library, with the shelf mark DD.3.8(1). It contains, as its main subject, the Ecclesiastic History of Bar Hebraeus. It includes considerable unique historical information, shedding light on the history of the Syriac community in relation to other communities. It also supplies descriptions of events that brought important changes to the Syriac Church in Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt.
Iskandar Bcheiry is also the author of Repentance and Fasting from an Ascetical Perspective: A Comparative Reading of Jacob of Serugh and an Unpublished Shortened Version of a Collection of Homilies by Severus of Antioch.
This volume offers a basic introduction to the various Syriac translations of the Bible, and the ways in which the translations were used in the Syriac tradition. This new edition has been brought up to date and the bibliography expanded. Brock offers an initial overview of the Syriac Bible, along with an exploration of how the Bible was passed down to us and problems of biblical translation in general. The different surviving Syriac translations are outlined, as well as biblical manuscripts, lectionaires, printed editions, and translations. Brock also includes a reception history of the Syriac Bible, covering the ways in which it has been interpreted, the commentary tradition, and its use in preaching, in liturgy, and in spirituality. An appendix offers some comparative samples.
This book is extremely valuable because it lays out the biblical traditions of the Syrian Christians, traditions that are not so familiar to many biblical scholars who are trained in Greek and Hebrew and who study traditions west of Edessa. Brock presents us with a handy overview of what the Syrian Christians were reading, and how it is different from other bibles in the ancient world.

Iraq has been a center of Syriac Christianity for almost 2,000 years. From its beginnings in the second century through the twenty-first century, Christianity has had a significant religious profile in Iraq, enriching the culture of Mesopotamia from where its influence extended into surrounding regions. This volume collects papers from the Christianity in Iraq I–V Seminar Days (2004–2008). Scholars explore the heritage and contribution of Syriac Christianity to Iraq, highlighting its innate ability to transcend barriers of language, culture, ethnicity and religion.
Papers are organized into four major sections. The first probes exchanges with the Muslim world in the Ummayid and Abbasid era. The second section investigates the legacy of monasticism that continues, albeit tenaciously, to the present day. The remarkable outreach program of The Church of the East in Central Asia that introduced the Syriac Bible is the subject of the third section. Finally, the fourth section examines post-medieval responses following the ravages of the fourteenth century, which essentially confined Syriac Christianity to northern Mesopotamia.

One of the first major Syriac authors, Aphrahat, wrote his Demonstrations in the middle of the long reign of Shapur II. His intended readers were the so-called covenanters, representing a native Syriac form of ascetic life. Demonstrations is a mix of practical guidance, polemic against the Jewish community, and occasional exhortations to the Persian Church as a whole, all saturated with biblical exegesis. His work is unique because it represents a worldview that is only marginally Hellenized, much closer to its Jewish roots than most other forms of Christianity in his day.
Demonstrations offers a wealth of material for understanding forms of Christian thought and life that developed in Persia more strongly linked with Judaism than the Greek and Latin spheres. Lehto provides information on the historical context, English translations of the Demonstrations, and a framework to help readers understand the text.
Adam Lehto earned his PhD from the University of Toronto. He teaches history of religion courses at the University of Toronto, Mississauga.
Today the Malabar Independent Syrian Church is one of the smallest jurisdictions of the St. Thomas Christian community. However, it has played a crucial role in the development of the Syrian Churches. This volume shows how the bishops of this tiny, one-Diocese Church, once stood at the center of the events that shaped the present ecclesiastical situation.
Drawing on previously undiscovered manuscripts preserved at Thozhiyur in the former British Malabar, and others at Oxford, Birmingham, and the British Library, The Forgotten Bishops tells the story of the impact of a delegation headed by the Maphrian of the Syrian Orthodox Church reaching Kerala in 1751. This resulted in a small monastic community that would become a major "bridgehead" for the introduction of West Syrian usage into India. Contrary to prevailing opinion, this identity was reinforced by the arrival of Anglican missionaries in 1816, and by two powerful members of the Palakunnathu dynasty—Abraham Malpan and Mathews Mar Athanasios. The findings challenge the way the main communities in Kerala (Catholic, Syrian Orthodox, Malankara Orthodox, and Mar Thoma) are accustomed to tell their stories.

The Holy Spirit in the Syrian Baptismal Tradition is a sensitive and evocative treatment of the role of the Holy Spirit in worship. With a keen awareness of the tradition of Syrian Christianity, Brock begins his exploration with the concept of ruha d-qudsha and the role of the Holy Spirit in the Syriac Bible. Imagery used for the Spirit includes that of a compassionate mother, fire, olive oil, as well as the more common image of a dove.
Next, Brock considers the various sources of the imagery including the East Syrian/Chaldean; Syrian Orthodox and Catholic; Maronite and Melkite traditions. He also summarizes commentaries and other Syriac literature on the rite of baptism. Considering the vehicle and nature of the gifts of the Spirit, Brock provides the distinctive fullness of this concept for readers in these traditions. The study includes a discussion of the invocation over the water and oil, and their symbolism of the Spirit, as well as the Holy Spirit in the Eucharistic setting and in regard to the Virgin Mary. Baptism and Pentecost are compared, and the study concludes with the role of anointing in the post-baptismal life of the Christian.
Sebastian P. Brock was born in 1938 and studied classics and oriental studies at Cambridge University before earning his DPhil at Oxford University. He has taught at the Universities of Birmingham, Cambridge, and Oxford, where he was reader in Syriac studies. He published extensively in the field of Syriac and edited a number of new texts.
The Influence of Origen on the Young Augustine provides a new and unprecedented analysis of Augustine's early career, including his celebrated conversion and the theology of his early writings. György Heidl reinterprets Augustine's early accounts of his conversion and comes to a conclusion which runs counter to the general scholarly view. He argues that as early as the first phase of Augustine's activity (386–393 AD), he made use of some Origenian works and basic elements of his early theology were derived from the Alexandrian master. The author provides an analysis of Augustine's first exegetical work, De genesi contra manichaeos, and argues for the possibility that a Latin compilation of Origen's understanding of Genesis existed and was used by Latin authors of the fourth century.
This book amply fulfils its promise of opening up a new chapter in the history of the reception of Origen's thought.
—Joseph W. Trigg, Journal of Early Christian Studies
György Heidl is associate professor in history of aesthetics at the University of Pécs, Hungary. He studies and teaches the theology and exegesis of the Church Fathers and translates their works into Hungarian.
Christian initiation Eastern Orthodox liturgies involved more than just the rite of baptism. The classical texts provide for admission of catechumens (with special rites for children), admission to candidacy, lessons for instruction during Lent, exorcisms, the rite of apotaxis and syntaxis on Good Friday, and baptism and chrismation at the Easter Vigil.
This book provides English translations of all these texts, with brief commentary, as well as the provisions for the consecration of chrism, for initiation at the other baptismal feasts in the Orthodox tradition, and special provisions for Easter week and its closure. The rites are as complete as those in the Western Rites of Initiation of Adults (RCIA). In addition, the provisions for children suggest a somewhat different baptismal journey than what is customary in the West. The book highlights the true Easter Vigil of the Orthodox Church.

Ioane Petritsi was a twelfth-century Georgian philosopher, a student of the Constantinopolian philosophic school. Petritsi sought to initiate Neoplatonic studies at the Gelati monastic school established by King David IV the Builder, producing a translation and commentary on Proclus' Elements of Theology—a comprehensive exposition of the entire Neoplatonic ontological system. This was the first complete translation of the work, at least 100 years earlier than the first Latin translation by William Moerbeke, commissioned by St. Thomas Aquinas. Petritsi's translation required the creation of a philosophic language—a medium for transmitting the extravagant philosophic ideas into Georgian. In his original commentaries, Petritsi explains the intricacies of Proclus' thought and tries to prove the basic affinity between the Platonic and the biblical traditions. This volume exposes the entire system of Petritsi's thought upon a background of ideas on Proclus, other Neoplatonists, and the Church Fathers.
Levan Gigineishvili obtained his PhD at the Department of Medieval Studies of the Central European University, Budapest, in 2000. He is a graduate of the Higher Institute of Philosophy of Catholic University of Leuven and of Harvard University. He also studied classics at the Tbilisi State University. He has taught Byzantine literature at the Tbilisi State University and Georgian Literature at the American Academy in Tbilisi. Gigineishvili is an author of numerous articles on Petritsi and philosophic tradition in medieval Georgia.
The task of this study by Mihai Vlad Niculescu is twofold. First, he offers a detailed analysis of Origen's understanding of exegesis as a liturgical attending to the Word's evangelic advent in the Bible—a sort of textual redoubling of the incarnation. Next he addresses a recent concern regarding the totalizing potential of Origen's Logos-centered reading of history as evangelic or Christian, discussing whether Origen's exegetical spelling of the Word as universal Gospel can prevent the silencing of the speech of the Greek or the Jew outside of Christianity.
Mihai Vlad Niculescu is assistant professor of philosophy at Bradley University. His training includes a degree in classics and doctoral studies in patristic and contemporary continental philosophy. In a series of published articles Niculescu has proposed a critical-phenomenological interpretation of the thought of Greek Patristic authors such as Origen of Alexandria, the Cappadocians or Evagrius Ponticus.
This monograph presents a previously unpublished historical resource—a register of dues collected for the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchate during the second half of the nineteenth century. The original document belongs to the archives of the Church of the 40 Martyrs in Mardin, Turkey, once the headquarters of the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch. Bcheiry provides the original text, an English translation, and an extensive socio-economic study. In addition, he sheds light on the demographic and geographical realities of nineteenth century Ottoman history, specifically in South East Anatolia.
Iskandar Bcheiry is also the author of Repentance and Fasting from an Ascetical Perspective: A Comparative Reading of Jacob of Serugh and an Unpublished Shortened Version of a Collection of Homilies by Severus of Antioch.
"The Prayer of Manasseh," a beautiful penitential prayer attributed to King Manasseh of Judah, has had a rich and complex textual history. There are two main versions: one appearing in the Peshitta and the Didascalia, and another in the Melkite Horologion. In this study, the authors present a detailed philological and linguistic comparison of these two versions. Combining state-of-the-art computational tools together with traditional philology they compare the texts at all linguistic levels, from their vocabulary to their discursive structure, with a special emphasis on their morphology and syntax. The results illuminate various debates pertaining to Syriac syntax. Questions of a methodological nature regarding textual comparison using qualitative and quantitative techniques are addressed as well. Together with the thorough text-historical and tradition-historical introduction, the book is a natural companion for anyone interested in this remarkable prayer, as well for anyone interested in Syriac linguistics, literature, and liturgy.

Saint Macarius the Egyptian (c. 300–390) was one of the earliest monks in Egypt, whose virtue and spiritual exploits gave rise to various tales and sayings, preserved notably in the Apophthegmata patrum. Some 100 years later, his life was recounted anew in the form of hagiography, and was then diffused in various languages of the Christian Orient: Coptic, Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopic, Greek, Georgian, and so forth. It is extremely rare that such a multilingual tradition of a text is studied together in a detailed fashion—and this is precisely what is presented in this book. Accompanied by its Coptic and Syriac versions newly reedited, this book constitutes a multilingual edition of the Life of Macarius the Egyptian. In addition, this book also provides a commentary dealing with the "historical Macarius", as well as with the Life seen as a literary work.

Hi Tammy,ReplyDelete
Can you tell us which one is REALLY your favourite out of those? Esp in terms of which goes best under makeup (I find some sunblock really makes makeup slip off). And also which don't clog pores!
Also, how do you reapply sunscreen ontop of your makeup??
Tam, I got to tell u that u shouldn't use Biore Radiant pink sunscreen. because I'm like u, acne prone/ pimple prone and slightly oily combination skin. I used that, although it is matte finish, but it clogs my pores like shit! End up I had a lot bumps and it took some time to clear up. It is powdery form and I suspect it clogs up my face pores and once I stopped, the breakout stops too. Hope it helps! I recommend u buy Shishedo 32++ whitening protector or naruko BB sunscreen (30+ pa. Naruko tea tree pil series really saved my life I swear! <3ReplyDelete

Stefan Johansen could face ex-club Stromsgodset with Celtic in Europe
Ronnie Cully, Senior Sports Writer / / Sport
STEFAN JOHANSEN'S career is moving forward so quickly, he is in danger of meeting himself coming back.
The midfielder had no sooner won the championship with Stromsgodset in Norway than he was whisked to Glasgow to help Celtic make it three-in-a-row.
Just when the 23-year-old thinks he will be given time to catch his breath, the manager who brought him to Parkhead, Neil Lennon, decides four years in office is enough and quits.
And, before Johansen can produce any beads of sweat over who Lennon's replacement will be, and if he will rate the Norwegian international, than it is announced the new boss is none other than the man credited with making him the player he is, Ronny Deila.
Little wonder Johansen is still trying to take it all in.
But, within the next two weeks, he will be back at Lennoxtown for pre-season training, and sure to be the go-to man in the dressing room as his team-mates try to find out all about the new manager.
Johansen is sure to tell them nothing but positives.
Not because he wants to keep in Deila's good books, but because he owes so much to the man who brought him from obscurity at backwater club, Bodo/Glimt, demanded he raise his fitness levels and improved his attitude, and, with a couple of seasons, not only produced the Norwegian league's Player of the Year, but also a rising star for who Celtic were prepared to pay £2million.
Promoted stories
Johansen can empathise with Deila as he attempts to come to terms with just how big a club Celtic is.
The 6,000 who attended games in Drammen, cheering on perennial underdogs Stromsgodset, has been replaced by 60,000 expecting - and demanding - Celtic win every time they take to the field.
The pressure will be on right from the start when Deila takes charge of his first competitive games.
They just happen to be the season-defining Champions League qualifiers, which kick off on July 15 or 16.
The draw for the second qualifying round - Celtic's entry point again this year - takes place a week on Monday.
As usual, Uefa will attempt to help clubs keep their costs down by making this draw geographical, with Celtic in the hat along with champions from the British Isles, Nordic and other northern European countries.
They will be seeded, due to their co-efficient, which is based on results in Europe over the past five seasons.
And, ironically, that means one of the teams they could face is Stromsgodset.
Given how Johansen's career appears to be turning full circle, that would be no huge surprise to the young man who is only too aware of the unique pitfalls which can await clubs at this very early stage of the competition.
Celtic were fortunate to draw Cliftonville in last season's second qualifying round.
Although they play on an artificial surface, the champions from Northern Ireland did not have the fitness advantage of being halfway through their season, something the Scandinavians can bank on, thus making it more of a level playing field if they are pitched against the likes of Celtic.
A 3-0 first leg win in Belfast followed by a 2-0 tidying-up exercise at Parkhead saw Celtic hone their sharpness as they moved safely through to the third qualifying round.
But that's where their troubles started as they were paired with Elfsborg, Mo Bangura et al.
The fact the Swedish champs were midway through their league season showed, and Celtic got through by the tightest of margins with a 1-0 aggregate.
Johansen is only too aware of how players with clubs up and running consider teams coming off their pre-season to be vulnerable.
And, now that he has switched camps, he is eager to avoid being on the wrong end of a shock result.
He said: "Of course that is the big challenge for us, and it is why we had to make sure the matches we had at the end of last season after we had won the title were used to prepare us for our first Champions League qualifiers.
"We are all going to be in shape when we come back from our summer break."
For Johansen, who had to contend with completing a full calendar-year season in Norway, then playing for five months with Celtic, it's been a welcome and necessary holiday.
But he believes he is strong enough and fit enough to cope with back-to-back campaigns, and that this powers of recovery will ensure he is ready and willing to hit the ground running again when everyone reports back to Lennoxtown a week on Tuesday.
"It is not a challenge for me to keep going," said the all-action star.
"It is a new season, and that's what you use your holiday for, to be ready for it.
"It's a new beginning, so you have got to forget what you did last season, come back, and be ready to try to be even better for the season that is about to start."
With a new manager to factor in, which will mean new training regimes and systems to take on board, it will be a step into the unknown for everyone at the club, exacerbated by the fact they are being decamped to Murrayfield for the two qualifying round home ties.
But, what they will all know as they regroup and prepare to head to their training camp in Austria and the series of warm- up games is that the experience gained in last season's qualifiers will be invaluable.
It might all be uncharted waters for the new boss - whose only previous excursions into European competition total a mere six games with Stromsgodset - but Deila can lean heavily on the likes of Scott Brown, Charlie Mulgrew, Kris Commons, Emilio Izaguirre, and Anthony Stokes who have been over the obstacle-strewn course many times before.
They will need no reminding how fraught last season's play- off against Shakhter Karagandy proved to be, the 2-0 first leg defeat in Kazakhstan eventually being overhauled in the last minute of the return at Parkhead, thanks to James Forrest's dramatic goal.
All of which will have been studied comprehensively by Deila, with a view to avoiding any repeat of that unwanted drama.

Six veterans who claim they were exposed to dangerous chemicals, germs and mind-altering drugs during Cold War experiments sued the CIA, Department of Defense and other agencies today.
The vets volunteered for military experiments they say were part of a wide-ranging program started in the 1950s to test nerve agents, biological weapons and mind-control techniques
Originally posted by Swatman
no it is not just another example. there is no proof of it. anyone can claim anything and it does not mean it is true. these guys will have a hard time proving it
At least 7,800 U.S. military personnel served as volunteers to test experimental drugs such as '___' at the Edgewood Arsenal near Baltimore, Md., during a program that lasted into the 1970s, the lawsuit said. Many others volunteered for similar experiments at other locations, according to the lawsuit. From the News Article above; My Emphasis
Hopefully if all they are seeking is health-care and or damages they receive compensation.

The bathrooms are old and is just separated from the next room bathroom with just a wooden plank. One can hear the next door occupants talking... More

avian anatomyLike reptiles, birds possess a cloaca, a chamber that receives digestive and metabolic wastes and reproductive products. A dorsal outpocketing of the cloaca, the bursa of Fabricius, controls antibody-mediated immunity in young birds. The bursa regresses with age, and thus its presence or absence may be used to determine age.
lymphocyte formation...the spleen. The two classes of lymphocytes originally derived their names from investigations in birds, in which it was found that differentiation of one class of lymphocyte was influenced by the bursa of Fabricius (an outpouching of the gastrointestinal tract) and thus was called the B lymphocytes, and the other was influenced by the thymus and was called the T lymphocytes.In birds B cells mature in the bursa of Fabricius. (The process of B-cell maturation was elucidated in birds—hence B for bursa.) In mammals the primary organ for B-lymphocyte development is the bone marrow, although the prenatal site of B-cell differentiation is the fetal liver. Unlike the thymus, the bone marrow does not atrophy at puberty, and therefore......suitably stimulated. Although it is appropriate to refer to them as B cells in humans and other mammals, because they are bone-marrow derived, the B actually stands for the bursa of Fabricius, a lymphoid organ found only in birds, the organisms in which B cells were first discovered.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Q: My friend is dating a guy who I think is emotionally abusive. She rarely brings it up, but it's quite obvious to me. How do I get her to leave him?A: I understand your desire to protect your friend. However, she needs to make her own decisions. If she's already feeling bullied by her boyfriend, she doesn't need your critical voice to join in.
The abuse is not her fault.
Acting differently toward him won't change anything.
She is not alone.
There are ways to get help.
