The focus of this study is the final part of Dionysius bar Salibi’s polemical work against the Muslims, which contains a number of quotations from the Qur’an in Syriac translation. Mingana makes certain claims about the importance of these Syriac quotations for the history of the Qur’anic text. His introduction examines views about the standardization of the text of the Qur’an (with several references and quotations to Arabic writers) and generally considers Syriac evidence for the subject. Mingana translates this part of bar Salibi’s work and comments on several parts of it. A manuscript facsimile is included, followed by an appendix dealing with a Harvard manuscript of bar Salibi’s work. The entire treatise has subsequently appeared (with English translation), but Mingana’s controversial investigation remains necessary reading for anyone interested in the history of the Qur’anic text and Muslim-Christian relations in the 12th century.

Jacob of Sarug’s Homilies on the Six Days of Creation (The First Day)

Jacob of Sarug's (d. 521) homily constitutes the first example of a Hexameron, or Commentary on the Six Days of Creation, in Syriac literature. This edition presents Jacob’s comments on the first day, Gen. 1:1-5. The volume constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text of Jacob's surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an annotated English translation.

Approaches to the History of the Interpretation of the Qur’ān

In recent years, the Qur’ān has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafsīr, remains a vast, virtually untapped field of investigation. Many Muslims tend to ignore the material, seeing it as a storehouse of traditional restraints, and scholars frequently gloss over its importance as a historical record of the Muslim community, not appreciating the depth and breadth of the literature. The essays gathered here expose and explore various aspects of the field of tafsīr, and their potential for scholarly research.

Jesus, the Isaianic Servant

Scholars have long noted the importance of Isaiah in the Gospel of John, though few have focused exclusively on John’s use of Isaiah. The Servant of the Lord from Isaiah has also received much attention over the years, but commentators often only make passing reference to the Servant of the Lord in John. Day provides a systematic analysis of the Isaianic Servant in the Gospel of John.
