Price 167.11 USD
Payne Smith, most well known for his landmark Syriac dictionary, here gives an edition of the Syriac translation of Cyril of Alexandria s interpretation of Luke s Gospel, which is incomplete in Greek. This commentary was originally delivered as a series of brief homilies by one of the most important Greek Fathers for the Syrian Orthodox Church, and a number of his works were translated from Greek into Syriac. The Syriac text is printed in a beautiful Estrangela font. The editor s introduction (in Latin) discusses the manuscripts used, the extant Greek parts of the work, and the catenae that contain some of it. In addition, he gives there a brief, but helpful, discussion of the diacritical point in Syriac verbal forms and homographs. Finally, he provides a list of errata and textual notes on several passages. Payne Smith also produced an English translation of this Syriac work, and it, too, is available from Gorgias Press.
