In this volume, Moss gives an introduction, edition, and translation of an important poem (in the seven-syllable meter) from “Isaac of Antioch.” The name Isaac of Antioch in fact covers at least four individuals, but the Isaac that authored this poem is probably Isaac of Amid, who is mentioned as a student of Ephrem. The poem relates events from the fourth century, when Huns attacked Constantinople in the 440s. Few of Isaac’s poems have been translated into English, so this is an especially valuable work. The edition, from a single manuscript of the British Museum (now Library), includes textual notes, and the translation also has brief commentary. These two articles originally appeared in the Zeitschrift für Semitistik und verwandte Gebiete, nos. 7 (1929) and 8 (1932).

    Sixth-Century Fragments of an East-Syrian Anaphora

    Although this fragmentary Eastern Syriac Anaphora was previously published by G. Bickell, R.H. Connolly disagreed with several editorial and conjectural decisions. Thus, Connolly publishes here his own edited version of the text accompanied by a Latin translation and extended notes.

    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.
