The terms troparia and kontakia were, at various times in the historical development of Christian liturgy, used as technical designations for hymns. In the present article, Joseph Molitor traces the influence of Byzantine troparia and kontakia in the Syriac Melkite tradition as evidenced by several Syriac manuscripts. Molitor begins with a historical survey of these terms and their use in early liturgical literature in the Byzantine tradition, and then extends this discussion to the Melkite tradition. Molitor then attempts to date the Syriac tradition by analyzing the liturgical feast days found in one Syriac manuscript. Molitor continues by noting the issues in the comparison the texts of these hymns from the Syriac Melkite tradition to modern day liturgies. And finally, Molitor publishes the Syriac text and German translation of the troparia and kontakia discussed and analyzed in this study.

    The New Syriac Primer, 2nd Edition

    A truly useful introduction to the Syriac language is a rare find. This practical initiation to the study of this ancient language of the Christian church speaks with clarity and authority. A fruitful integration of scholarly introduction and practical application, this primer is more than a simple grammar or syntactic introduction to the language. Writing in a style designed for beginners, Kiraz avoids technical language and strives for a reader-friendly inductive approach. Readings from actual Syriac texts allow the student to experience the language first hand and the basics of the grammar of the language are ably explained. The book comes with downloadable material so that readers may listen to all reading sentences and text passages in the book.

    Marriage and the Sacraments

    Originally delivered as one of the St. Margaret’s Lectures for 1904, the contents of this booklet are focused on aspects of the Syriac-speaking Church. Extracted from Burkitt’s book Early Eastern Christianity, the fourth lecture concerns the development of marriage and the role of sacraments in the early Syriac Church. Burkitt finds that marriage was not early regarded as a sacrament and the married faithful were not permitted the sacraments of baptism or communion in the early tradition represented by Aphraates.
