This study, which originally appeared in an early issue of ZDMG, focuses on three prominent authors of the Church of the East: Theodore of Mopsuestia, Narsai, and Babai the Great. Haneberg presents three short poems from each author in vocalized Syriac together with a German translation. Theodore’s poem is a hymn of praise, Narsai’s touches on themes of Christ’s coming and Incarnation, and Babai’s is on the birth of Christ. The study concludes with some notes on the language.
