This volume contains two short studies, originally printed in the Journal of Theological Studies, on the Diatessaron and Syriac literature. In the first, Connolly examines the evidence on the data and order of two biblical passages in the Syriac Acts of John in comparison with some other places in Syriac literature, such as Ephrem’s commentary on the Diatessaron, the Old Syriac Gospels, and Solomon of Basra’s Book of the Bee. In the second investigation, he looks at some material from Jacob of Serug showing his use of the Diatessaron or Old Syriac Gospels over against the Peshitta. Both studies suggest some lines of alteration that had taken place in the Arabic Diatessaron. Readers who study the history of the Gospels in Syriac and their reception and use in Syriac literature will find these two studies of interest.

    Sixth-Century Fragments of an East-Syrian Anaphora

    Although this fragmentary Eastern Syriac Anaphora was previously published by G. Bickell, R.H. Connolly disagreed with several editorial and conjectural decisions. Thus, Connolly publishes here his own edited version of the text accompanied by a Latin translation and extended notes.

    Marriage and the Sacraments

    Originally delivered as one of the St. Margaret’s Lectures for 1904, the contents of this booklet are focused on aspects of the Syriac-speaking Church. Extracted from Burkitt’s book Early Eastern Christianity, the fourth lecture concerns the development of marriage and the role of sacraments in the early Syriac Church. Burkitt finds that marriage was not early regarded as a sacrament and the married faithful were not permitted the sacraments of baptism or communion in the early tradition represented by Aphraates.

    105 Zitierte Psalmenübersetzung

    The Syriac tradition played an important role in shaping pre- and early Islamic concepts of Christianity. In this article, Anton Baumstark argues that a few Arabic citations of the Bible reflect reliance on Old Syriac translations rather than the Peshitta.
