This short work, originally published in the Festschrift for Theodor Nöldeke (1836-1930), is focused on the Syriac work known as Gannat Bussame, a commentary on the East Syriac lectionary and an important witness to the East Syriac exegetical tradition. Chabot first describes the sole manuscript known to him of the work and gives a general layout of its arrangement. He includes (in Syriac and Latin) a layout of the liturgical calendar assumed by the work. Of interest to those who work on the history of interpretation will be Chabot’s list and discussion of authors cited in the work. This early notice and overview of the Gannat Bussame remains of value to scholars working on liturgy and biblical interpretation.
