John of Dara was a 9th century metropolitan and acclaimed theologian. Seven of his treatises survive in Codex 356 in Mardin. His mimre refer to Jacob of Serugh, but by the name “Jacob of Batnan”, “Jacob”, and by titles of respect. This article describes Jacob’s significant influence, comparing two-verse homilies in detail. John of Dara even presents Jacob of Serugh as an authority. Shemunkasho demonstrates that John had access to Jacob’s mimre which he then used to develop systematic theological responses to his 9th century context. The author provides transcriptions from John’s writing and references to Jacob.

The Correspondence of Severus and Sergius

Severus of Antioch was the Patriarch of Antioch and a moderate Miaphysite. Sergius the Grammarian is a lesser-known figure, but the content of his letters demonstrates that he was a more extreme Miaphysite. The early 6th century correspondence between the two consists of a set of three letters apiece and an apology by Sergius. Made available in Syriac along with Torrance’s translation, these letters are an important part of the working out of concerns associated with the Council of Chalecedon.
