Description

This volume provides access via a modern language to the complete text of the Armenian translation of poems attributed to Ephraem the Syrian, the famous fourth-century Syriac-Christian poet and theologian. At the basis of this English translation is the authors' critical reading and evaluation of the edition of the Armenian text of the Fifty-One Armenian Antiphons, the Latin translation, and the copious notes of Nerses Akinian, Louis Mariès, and Charles Mercier. Further evidence from manuscripts, collated by Levon Ter-Petrosean, is included as well. The notes correct typographical and other errors in the Armenian text and the Latin translation. The Biblical hermeneutics of certain passages receive extended treatment. Hypothetical reconstructions of the Syriac Vorlage are provided where the Armenian text poses particular difficulty. The Introduction gives the reader access to an overview of the history of the translation of Syriac texts into Armenian. It provides a synopsis of the works by or attributed to Ephraem the Syrian, a discussion of some of the problems of discerning the authenticity of ascriptions of individual translated texts to specific original-language authors, a consideration of the dating, some discussion of the genre, and a synopsis of the thematic content of the Fifty-One Armenian Antiphons. This book addresses interested readers from among the general public, students, and scholars with specific interests in Middle Eastern literature, Armenian Studies, Syriac Studies, late ancient and mediaeval poetry, Early Christianity, Late Antiquity, Byzantine Studies, Medieval Studies, religion, and Christian theology. This new volume inaugurates the Eastern Mediterranean Texts and Contexts (EMTC)'s new subseries Armenian Texts and Studies (ArmTS). Readers gain access to editions of Armenian sources, translations of such texts, and monograph-length studies or edited volumes on relevant topics. The first volume of EMTC's ArmTS subseries highlights the entangled history of Armenian Christians, who from the very beginnings of the Christian phase of Armenian history avidly drew on and interacted with the world of thought, belief, and cultural production of their immediate neighbors, both Oriental Christians and Eastern Christians. In so doing, Armenians substantially enriched the treasure trove of Christian literature in the Caucasus and the Middle East more broadly.
