Harris edits and translates into English an eighth-century Syriac version of the Gospel of the Twelve Apostles that belongs to a well-defined apocalyptic tradition. The document is important not only for its account of the early belief that the Ascension took place on Sunday and that it coincides with Pentecost, as well as other early traditions with regard to the Day of Pentecost, but also on account of its references to the Muslim invasion.

The Stanzaic Poems of Jacob of Serugh

Although the verse homilies of Jacob of Serugh are well known to lovers of Syriac literature, his stanzaic poetry, in the form of madroshe and sughyotho, have been largely forgotten. This volume contains twenty-five poems preserved in their complete form and attributed to Jacob in old manuscripts of the sixth/seventh to ninth/tenth century preserved today in the British Library, but largely originating from Deir al-Surian in Egypt.
