Beschreibung
The presented monograph represents the result of Nina V. Pigulevská's lifelong research interest in the field of Syrian Christianity. It is an unparalleled introduction to the history and culture of the Syrians. The fundamental contribution of Syrian Christians to the translation of Greek thought into Syrian and subsequently Arabic contexts is described in detail, along with the successes of Syrian medicine, alchemy, and astrology, and their crucial role in the spread of Christianity from the shores of the Mediterranean through the Euphrates River to China. Particularly valuable are the biographies of the most prominent figures of early medieval Syria.
