Militos Barnaba has chosen 20 of the most beautiful memre of Jacob of Sarugh and here provided a sense-for-sense translation of them into Arabic. For each memra a short excerpt of the Syriac original is given, followed by an Arabic translation of the entire piece. The memre translated here include: On the descent of the Lord on Mt Sinai; On David’s statement, “You are a Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek;” On “In the beginning was the Word;” On Palm Sunday; the Resurrection of the Lord; On the Sunday of Pentecost; On the Falling of the Idols; On the taking of the Holy Mysteries (two memre); On Baptism; and On the Gospel Beatitudes. An introduction by Bishop Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim provides background on the life and writings of Jacob of Sarugh. At a time when so few of Jacob’s marvelous and powerful memre have been translated out of Syriac, this book is a welcome effort at making the beauty and power of the work of “the Flute of the Holy Spirit and the Harp of the Church” known to a wider audience. It will also be a useful aide to students of the poetry of Jacob.
