On account of persecutions during the early centuries of the Church, the singing of hymns was also directed toward those men and women who died for the name of Christ. This paper will examine the development of the theme of ‘hymning to the martyrs,’ or the singing of antiphons in honour of those who gave their life for Christ, in the liturgical tradition of the Assyrian Church of the East. These antiphons, though seemingly glorifying the martyrs, are in fact hymns that glorify God.","PeriodicalId":272477,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Canadian Society for Syriac Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114395907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It will be seen that most of the characteristic features of that tradition are lacking in Aphrahat, and that an analysis of his response to the persecution that his Church is experiencing reveals an author whose perspective is not easily combined with the more typical martyrological accounts that would soon begin to be produced by Christians in the Persian empire.

Prominent among studies in Arabic is the research by Yousif Rizq-Allāh Ghanīma, which makes use of the 10century Kitāb al-Aghānī, among other sources, as well as the chapter on the same city by Dr. Jawad Ali in his Encyclopedia on the Arabs before Islam. Studies in foreign languages include the fundamental research by the German scholar Gustav Rothstein, which approached the literary sources critically while reconstructing the succession of princely rulers of Ḥīra. M. J. Kister’s research increased our knowledge about the city after he exploited the manuscript al-manāqib al-mazyadiyya of Abū al-Baqā’ (11-12 century), which offers relevant details not found elsewhere. Nöldeke’s translation and study of the history of al-Ṭabarī, in which he also consulted the Syriac sources, was a step forward in expanding the research on Ḥīra. The same can be said of the work of Nina V. Pigulevskaia, on the connection between Arabs, Sassanians, and Byzantines. There is also a survey article on Ḥīra by Irfan Shahid. The present paper adds another dimension to the sources mentioned above by making use of recent archaeological discoveries in Ḥīra unearthed during the latest season (2010-2011), in which important Christian remains were found.","PeriodicalId":272477,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Canadian Society for Syriac Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128893658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
