Coptic Versions Of The Martyrdom Of Saint George - A Study Of The Coptic Transmission Of The George Legend, With An Edition Of Eight Fragmentary Manuscripts In Sahidic, Bohairic, And Fayyumic

by F Iacono

~~152,38€~~ 137,14€ 10% OFF

 The Martyrdom of George is one of the most prominent early Christian hagiographies, the popularity of which endured far into the Middle Ages. Originally composed in Greek, it was translated into a multitude of ancient languages, including the three major literary dialects of Coptic - viz., Sahidic, Fayyumic, and Bohairic. Exactly one century ago, Giuseppe Balestri and Henri Hyvernat produced for this series an exemplary edition of two Bohairic manuscripts of the martyrdom. The present volume supplements the classic work of these two Coptologists by offering the reader an edition and translation of the other eight Coptic witnesses. The edition is preceded by a study which argues that, although scholars often speak of the Coptic version of the Martyrdom of George, there are, in fact, two distinct Coptic versions - viz., one attested by the extant Sahidic manuscripts and one attested in Bohairic and Fayyumic.

Un Livre De Pharmacopee En Syriaque

by P. Gignoux

149,73€ + 10% CARD

 Ce petit livre pourrait etre une introduction a la pharmacopee orientale. Il comprend une cinquantaine de lignes, tirees du debut d''un manuscrit syriaque entre a la BNF (Paris) il y a quelques annees sous le numero syr. 423, dont l''auteur (Ph. Gignoux) a pu faire une edition critique gryce au meme texte provenant de la collection des mss Mingana, syr. no 594. La nouveaute de ce texte reside dans le fait qu''il ne semble pas etre une traduction d''un ouvrage grec, alors que la suite du meme manuscrit provient pour l''essentiel de Galien. Ce texte nous apporte une quantite de noms de plantes medicinales et de produits animaux et mineraux. L''originalite reside aussi dans le fait que ces noms sont souvent gloses dans des langues comme le grec, l''arabe, l''arabo-persan, dont Gignoux a explique l''origine dans des articles preliminaires. Le texte syriaque et la traduction francaise ont ete mis en face a face pour permettre aux botanistes de retrouver facilement tel ou tel passage. Cela devrait aussi entraOEner les chercheurs a travailler davantage sur les plantes medicinales qui ont donne lieu a une litterature tres abondante et passionnante.

Kirakos Ganjakec'I (Xiiie Siecle). Histoire D'Armenie - Traduction, Introduction Et Notes

by P Boisson

214,65€ + 10% CARD

 L''Histoire de Kirakos Ganjakec''i ( 1271/1272 ?), est une source fondamentale pour les invasions mongoles en Armenie. Temoin privilegie de l''irruption des troupes mongoles en Transcaucasie - dont il fut le prisonnier - il fait un recit circonstancie, qui ne manque ni de saveur ni de piquant, sur ce peuple, qui de la Chine du Nord, en passant par la Perse, la Pologne, la Hongrie et meme jusqu''aux portes de l''Italie, terrorisa des 1231 les populations et bytit un empire. Les renseignements fournis par Kirakos Ganjakec''i completent ceux des voyageurs europeens, des historiographes persans, seljoukides ou de langue syriaque. C''est egalement une source primordiale voire unique, sur les princes de la famille des Zak''arean qui preside aux destinees d''une grande partie de l''Armenie sous obedience georgienne (1199-1236). Mais Kirakos Ganjakec''i est avant tout un vardapet qui s''interesse a tous les problemes culturels de son temps, et a ce titre, il devoile les details des grands debats theologiques qui ont agite l''histoire religieuse du XIIIe siecle. La traduction et les annotations de ce texte par Patricia Boisson permettent d''en saisir toute la singularite et l''importance.

Jacob Of Serugh. Homily On The Apostle Thomas And The Resurrection Of Our Lord

by P. M. Forness

238,50€ + 10% CARD

 This volume offers a critical edition and translation of Jacob of Serugh''s Homily on the Apostle Thomas and the Resurrection of Our Lord that focuses on John 20:19-28. The introduction describes the twenty-nine manuscripts that preserve the homily, details the construction of a stemma, presents case studies of editorial decisions based on neo-Lachmannian principles, and explains the systems of punctuation, orthography, and diacritical points. It also draws attention to the reception of the homily by attending to the producers and users of the manuscripts as well as the homily''s transmission in exegetical, liturgical, and hagiographical collections. The apparatus and appendices highlight paratextual marginalia, excerpts of the homily in the Syriac "Masora," the incorporation of the homily into a liturgical rite, additions to the homily, and section divisions in manuscript witnesses. Overall, the volume seeks to navigate between employing a neo-Lachmannian editorial praxis and addressing the interests of material philology.

Evagrius Ponticus, Letters. Armenian Translation

197,43€ + 10% CARD

 This book is a critical edition of a medieval reworking of the fourth-century Letters and additional works of Evagrius of Pontus. The Medieval Armenian collection presents the letters not as letters by Evagrius alone but as a correspondence of Evagrius with his advisor Melania the Elder. Continually interwoven with Biblical texts, they show the monastic teacher as gnostikos guiding his female ascetic pupil. As a fourth-century philosopher and monastic, Evagrius wrote treatises, kephalaia and scholia discussing knowledge, biblical interpretation and ethics. A follower of the teachings of Clement and Origen, he strongly influenced the intellectual development of monastic life in the East and in the Latin-speaking West. Although some of his writings were destroyed in their original Greek following the condemnations of 543/553, many survived in Syriac and Armenian; in the medieval Armenian monastic setting, they influenced later monastic teachers including Gregory Narekats''i.

Patristic &Quote;Masora&Quote; - A Study Of Patristic Collections In Syriac Handbooks From The Near East

by J. Loopstra

215,98€ + 10% CARD

 "Though fairly distinct among Syriac manuscripts, the nearly twenty exemplars of the so-called Syriac ""Masora"" remain relatively unknown and often misunderstood. These handbooks were developed to help the reader pronounce, interpret, and compare words from across a spectrum of different sources: including works of patristics, theology, liturgy, and the Bible. Because earlier studies of this genre have focused, almost exclusively, on the biblical portions of these manuscripts, little has been known about the collections of excerpts from 255 patristic-era writings included in many of these handbooks. This volume is the first-ever study and transcription of over ten thousand excerpted ''vocalized words and readings'' (smoh w-qroyoto) from works attributed to Greek writers such as Ps.-Dionysius, Basil, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Severus of Antioch. This material has the potential to inform not only Syriac studies and Patristics, but the broader study of literacy and modes of learning in the Medieval Middle East."

From High Priest To Patriarch - History And Authority In The ''Ecclesiastical History'' Of Bar ''Ebroyo

by M. Mazzola

159,00€ + 10% CARD

 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.

Scala Magna Of Shams Al-Ri'Asah Abu Al-Barakat. Volume I - Introduction, Text, Translation And Notes

by W.F. Macomber

174,90€ + 10% CARD

 Among the different kinds of "ladders", there was the classified vocabulary, of which several anonymous examples have survived in the manuscripts. These "ladders" group together Bohairic words relating to, for example, geographical features, meteorological phenomena, birds, beasts, creeping things, palm trees, fruits, vegetables and so on. Within each section the words were listed without special order. These "ladders", too, follow examples set by Arabic lexicographers. The "ladder" edited here is an example of this category. It alone is ascribed in the manuscripts to a named author, Shams al-Ri''asah Abu al-Barakat Ibn Kabar (died 10 May, 1324 A.D.). He is presumably identical with the priest of the church called al-Mu''allaqah in Old Cairo, al-Shams Ibn Kabar, who also bore the name Barsauma, who is mentioned in the colophon of Berlin Arabic 10173. He served as secretary to the Mamluk official Baybars al-Mansuri. Besides this "ladder", he composed an ecclesiastical encyclopedia, "The Lamp (that Illuminates) the Darkness and the Elucidation of the Liturgy", and a collection of sermons for feasts and special occasions. His "ladder" is commonly called the Great Ladder, presumably because it is the most complete example of the classified vocabulary. In addition, it attempts to organize the different classifications in a more logical order than is usual for the anonymous classified vocabularies. It is divided into ten books.

Chronicle Of King Galawdewos (1540-1559) - V.

 The Chronicle of King Galawdewos (r. 1540-1559), reporting the nineteen years of the king''s reign, is one of the most useful and significant historical sources for the history of Christian-Muslim relation in the sixteenth century of Ethiopia and the Horn. It represents a peculiar text in Gz historiography both because of its narrative structure and the underlying sources used by the chronicler. Numerous Arabisms appear in the text, which eventually suggest that the Chronicle was written by a person with an outstanding knowledge of Arabic, in 1561. The book presents a new critical edition based on all available manuscripts and provides some detailed introductory notes and an English translation. The new edition yields philological findings concerning the Chronicle of King Galawdewos in particular and new inputs that call for re-editing the Ethiopian royal chronicles in general. It also adds valuable by now not recorded items for Gz lexicography and corrects historical distortions resulted from the previous edition. Above all, the work provides a text-critically established edition of the Chronicle of King Galawdewos accompanied by an up-to-date concisely annotated translation, which offer new insights into the late medieval history and historiography of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa.

Syriac Sayings Of Greek Philosophers - A Study In Syriac Gnomologia With Edition And Translation

by Y. Arzhanov

215,98€ + 10% CARD

 Syriac "Sayings of Greek Philosophers" (SGP) is a corpus of sentences preserved in a number of Syriac manuscripts in the form of different collections and under different titles (until now these sentences were mainly referred to as "On the Soul"). SGP consists of two main blocks of sentences represented by two gnomic anthologies, the "Dublin Florilegium", consisting of short maxims, and the "Tur Abdin Florilegium", including longer expositions in moral philosophy, or "counsels". The first introductory part of the book not only describes the textual witnesses of SGP, but also surveys all other extant gnomic materials attributed to Greek philosophers and poets (the Seven Sages, Homer, Plato, Menander, Pythagoras, Theano, etc.), including gnomologia, florilegia, exempla, and doxography. Two chapters of the introduction focus on the pedagogical use of the gnomic materials mainly connected with the new Christian forms of rhetorical education based on the study of the Bible and on the texts of Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus. The second part of the book contains a critical edition of SGP on the basis of 15 manuscripts.

Isho'Dad Of Merw. Commentary On The Gospel Of John

 Isho''dad of Merw, Bishop of the East Syrian Church in edatta, wrote his commentaries on the books of the Old and New Testament around 850 A.D. His work constitutes one of the most important and extensive exegetical collections within the East Syrian Church. From 1911 to 1916 Margaret D. Gibson published a text edition and an English translation of the New Testament Part. Developments in the area of manuscript tradition, the discovery of new sources and the many deficiencies in Gibson''s work, made a new text edition and translation necessary. The starting point has been taken in Isho''dad''s commentary on the Gospel of St. John. This gave the opportunity to trace in Isho''dad''s commentary the influences of the work of Theodore of Mopsuestia, whose commentary on the Gospel of St. John has survived in the Syriac language. Volume 671 (Textus) offers a Syriac text edition based on 15 manuscripts. In the Introduction these manuscripts and their mutual relationship are described. Volume 672 (Versio) contains a description of Isho''dad''s life, a study of the sources used by him, and a translation. The volumes include a survey of Gibson''s errata, an orthographical index and an index of biblical citations and Greek terms quoted.

Another Athanasius. Four Sahidic Homilies Attributed To Athanasius Of Alexandria: Two Homilies On Michael The Archangel, The Homily On Luke 11:5-9 And - Two Homilies On Michael The Archangel, The Homily On Luke 11:5-9 And The Homily On Pentecost: T.

by I. Saweros

149,73€ + 10% CARD

 Many Coptic literary texts are circulated under the name of Athanasius of Alexandria, the Alexandrian Archbishop and Theologian (ca. 296/298-2 May 373). Although there are strong evidences that most of these texts are falsely attributed to him, they are of extreme importance for the study of Coptic Christianity. The four homilies, edited and translated in this two volumes book, present ''Another Athanasius'' to those who knew the history of their pseudo-Author. The homilies present Athanasius as a close friend of Pachomius, the Archimandrite of Upper Egypt (ca. 292-348). A visit of Pachomius to Alexandria is described in details. One homily relates about Athanasius'' escape to Upper Egypt. Another homily contains fanciful acts of the Nicene council. The last homily presents Athanasius as a preacher while giving a long talk on the Christian household. This corpus of texts reveals the mental image of Athanasius in the Coptic mentality through centuries after his death.
