The records of two provincial synods found among the writings of Catholicos Timothy I provide a unique perspective into the christological disputes and struggle for authority in Syriac-speaking Christianity in the late 8th century.
Oskar Braun provides a brief introduction to the life and career of Patriarch Timothy I, including a list of his writings with special attention to his letters and the Syriac text and German translation for five of Timothy’s letters.
This volume contains a German translation of a fascinating work on the soul in all its characteristics and aspects from the Syrian Orthodox author Mushe bar Kipho (d. 903).
The work here translated from Syriac contains canons and a series of other texts related to the Council of Nicea that have a connection to Marutha of Maipherqat, known for convening the Synod of Seleucia-Ctesiphon in 410.
