Description and Table of Contents
Description
Narsai (d. ca. 500) is a foundational East Syriac theologian and exegete
and among the most important and influential Syriac authors more
broadly. The present volume serves as a clavis to the more than
eighty metrical homilies (memre) attributed to him. The first
part consists of the clavis itself: It is organized by homily
providing for each a number, a short title, the incipit, the manuscript
attestation, previous editions and translations, previous scholarship,
and additional notes, when applicable. The second part is a study of
manuscripts that contain collections of homilies attributed (primarily)
to Narsai. For each manuscript, the following information is provided:
date, catalogue-type description of contents, bibliography, and notes.
The third part is a series of concordances that link the present work to
previous publications as well as to the incipits. The volume also
contains a curated bibliography on Narsai.
