Students of the Bible in 4th and 5th Century Syria: Seats of Learning, Sidelights and Syriacisms

by Aarhus University Press

Overview

Efter 451 (Chalcedon-synoden) kom syrisk-sprogede kirker til at repr Aesentere det ikke-ortodokse. Forud gik 150 ar, hvor kirkesproget i Syrien nok prim Aert var gr Aesk, men hvor en sproglig, kulturel og kirkelig mangfoldighed, af og til sp Aendinger, gjorde sig g Aeldende - ikke mindst nar de bibelske skrifter skulle overs Aettes og fortolkes. Denne periode og de meget forskelligartede kilder til forstaelse af den (pa gr Aesk, syrisk, latin og armenisk) har v Aeret genstand for en stor del af Henning Lehmanns forskning - i denne bog i form af 15 artikler fra arene 1969-2008.
