Elias Ioannes Millos, Archbishop of Aqra, here presents an edition of John of Mosul’s (died 1270) poem of spiritual guidance in the seven-syllable meter, originally published with the Latin title Directorium Spirituale. The text deals with themes such as guarding the senses, learning and the reading of Scripture, fasting, prayer, an interpretation of the Lord’s Prayer, parents instructing their children in doctrine, astrology and magic, etc. The book concludes with selections on spiritual guidance from Scripture and elsewhere. The editor gives an introduction to the text (in Syriac). The Syriac text given here will be of interest especially to those who study monasticism and spirituality in the east.
