While cataloguing a series of Syriac and Arabic manuscripts at the University Library of Cambridge, William Wright discovered a partially mutilated manuscript containing a previously unknown recension of the text “Secular Laws of the Emperors Constantine, Theodosius, and Leo.” A previous publication of these materials by P. Bruns and E. Sachau had revealed four recensions of the “Laws,” two of which were in Syriac, and Wright’s manuscript contained a significantly different version of the text. In the present article, Wright publishes various excerpts of the Syriac text, along with translation, in order to demonstrate the differences found in this recension.

Ephrem the Syrian's Hymns on the Unleavened Bread

In this set of homilies Ephrem (306-373) invites the reader into a world of symbolic interpretation filled with imagination brimming beneath the surface of word-plays, alliteration, and typological comparisons. These hymns thrust the reader into the middle of a context in which Christians and Jews maintain competing practices of a Passover service to the extent that Ephrem feels the need to distinguish between the symbol and the reality. These homilies are presented in their Syriac original alongside an annotated English translation.

The Martyrdom of St Phokas of Sinope

The fame of the martyr St. Phokas, first bishop of Sinope (on the Black Sea) and patron of seafarers, had spread to many parts of the Christian world by the fifth and sixth centuries. Although the Acts of his martyrdom under Trajan were composed in Greek, the earliest witness to them is the Syriac translation which is edited and translated here from two early manuscripts.
