This volume contains Grabowski’s inaugural dissertation: an edition, with annotated translation, of one of Narsai’s poems on the Joseph story from Genesis. The Syriac text was edited from a Berlin manuscript, and Grabowski, in the introduction, discusses Narsai’s possible sources and the meter, and gives a description of the manuscript itself. The notes to the translation highlight biblical, lexicographical, textual, and literary details.
