Abstract
This article examines poems dedicated to the martyr Qūryāqōs by the eminent East Syriac poet and patriarch ʿAḇdīšōʿ of Gāzartā (d. 1570). For the first time the peculiarities of these works and their place in the development of Syriac poetry are examined. Additionally, a critical edition and translation of one of the poems, the turgāmā, is given, based on available manuscripts. A special place in the article is given to the correlation of the poetic texts under consideration with the prose versions of the hagiography of this martyr, which was used as a source by ʿAḇdīšōʿ of Gāzartā.
期刊介绍:
The journal brings all aspects of the various forms of Aramaic and their literatures together to help shape the field of Aramaic Studies. The journal, which has been the main platform for Targum and Peshitta Studies for some time, is now also the main outlet for the study of all Aramaic dialects, including the language and literatures of Old Aramaic, Achaemenid Aramaic, Palmyrene, Nabataean, Qumran Aramaic, Mandaic, Syriac, Rabbinic Aramaic, and Neo-Aramaic. Aramaic Studies seeks contributions of a linguistic, literary, exegetical or theological nature for any of the dialects and periods involved, from detailed grammatical work to narrative analysis, from short notes to fundamental research. Reviews, seminars, conference proceedings, and bibliographical surveys are also featured.
