This is a basic introduction to the various Syriac translations of the Bible and the ways in which they were used in the Syriac tradition. After an initial discussion of the general problems of biblical translation, the different surviving Syriac translations are outlined, as well as biblical manuscripts, lectionaires, printed editions, and translations. A reception history of the Syriac Bible covers the ways in which it has been interpreted, the commentary tradition, its use in preaching, in liturgy, and in spirituality. An appendix offers some comparative samples (in translation) to illustrate some of the differences between the different Syriac translations. |

The classic hagiography of Saint George is presented here by E. W. Brooks. Although originally written in Greek, the Syriac manuscripts of this text are important early witnesses. Brooks gives a critical edition of the Syriac accompanied by an annotated English translation of the Acts. A thorough explanation of the manuscript sources forms an introduction to the work. The Acts of Saint George stands in the tradition of early Christian devotional and historical records, and is a standard source for information about this formative saint.
Ernest Walter Brooks (1863-1955) was a Fellow of King’s College. A noted translator of classics, he was a highly regarded Syriac scholar.
