This volume compiles various ancient lives including that of Simeon Stylites. This is both a standard piece of source-criticism and a sourcebook for all modern students of Symeon.
In this multi-faceted study of Greek texts related to Ephrem, Emereau examines these works from a number of angles, including their poetic form, their influence on homily writers of the 5th cent., and Byzantine hymnography.
Rahmani presents an edition of Ephrem’s poems “On Virginity,’ which in fact deal with a number of other subjects as well, especially biblical narratives. He presents the Syriac text, an annotated Latin translation, an introduction, and a brief lexicon.
