The “Autobiography” of Dionysius the (Pseudo-)Aereopagite was copied often and circulated widely. However, despite it’s popularity, it is known to exist fully only in three Syriac manuscripts. Yet, even these three manuscripts testify to the transmission history of the text because the manuscripts contain two different recensions. Marc-Antoine Kugener publishes here for the first time the Syriac text of the two recensions of the Autobiography. Because two of the three manuscripts contain the same recension, Kugener offers a collated version of the text, though he indicates singular readings for each manuscript with the use of various sigla. Kugener offers a brief introduction to the text, including a discussion of the manuscripts, dating, and authorship. Kugener also appends a later biographical note about Dionysius that comes from a separate tradition, though he notes in the introduction that it is of limited value. Kugener supplements the Syriac text with a German translation and paragraph headings indicating the various topics.

The Day and Year of Saint Polycarp’s Martyrdom

Among the most important chronological questions of Christianity in the second century is the date of St. Polycarp’s martyrdom. Turner scours the evidence to determine a precise date, based on comparison between the Roman and Asiatic calendars and other historical references. This dating in turn helps to date Irenaeus and St. John.

The Origin of the Modern Syrian

An extremely provocative text, Bishara pleads the case of the Arab-American to be seen and treated as equal members of American society. An insightful peek into Arab-American self-identity around the turn of the 20th century, Bishara’s essay is of interest to ethnographer and historian alike.
