This volume is a collection of articles written in honor of Professor Sidney H. Griffith of the Catholic University of America. (Full disclosure: He supervised my doctoral dissertation.) Prof. Griffith is a well known scholar of Syriac and of Christian Arabic. The articles in this book concentrate on the Syriac aspect of his work. Quite a variety of topics are covered here. Two articles deal with Syriac poetry, while the rest deal with the ascetic practices of Syrian "solitaries" (a kind of proto-monk) and monks.This is not a full academic review of the book, so I will just give the table of contents and my comments on a few of the articles.PART I. POETRY AND EPHREM THE SYRIAN1. "Syriac Stropic Poetry: Intercalated Psalms," by Joseph P. Amar2. "Efrén de Nisibe, Himnos De Virginitate, I-III," by Francisco Javier MartínezThis is a translation into Spanish, with commentary, of Ephrem's Hymns I-III on Virginity. Martínez offers some useful notes contrasting his translation choices with those of previous translators.PART II. TEXTS, TERMS, METAPHORS3. "Redeem Your Sins through Works of Charity," by Gary A. Anderson4. "A Monastic Setting for the Syriac Apocalypse of Daniel," by Alexander GolitzinWhat struck me as most interesting about this article was Golitzin's observation that this apocalypse was written at a time when what can popularly be called "end times fever" was gripping the Syriac-speaking Christian world in the aftermath of the conquest by Islam. As is typical in troubled times, a host of dire end-of-the-world scenarios was spun by Christian writers who were upset by the emergence of Islam. These dire apocalypses seem to have perturbed the normal order of monastic life, so the author of this Apocalypse of Daniel wrote a work that completely ignored events in the wider world, in an apparent attempt to get the monks focused again on their inner, spiritual lives instead of being obsessed with "end times" prophecies.5. "A Syraic Life of Athanasius of Alexandria," by Michael J. Hollerich6. "Radical Renunciation: The Ideal of msarrquta," by Sebastian P. Brock.7. "Housekeeping: An Ascetic Theme in Late Antiquity," by Susan Ashbrook Harvey8. "The Influence of Evagrius Pontus," by Robin Darling Young9. "The Syriac Discourses of Beh Isho` Kamulaya," by Monica J. Blanchard10. "Ode to Joy," by Shawqi TaliaThis final article is in fact a poem written in honor of Prof. Griffith, in the ancient Syriac tradition, by an Assyrian Christian and long-time colleague of Prof. Griffith in the Semitics Department of CUA. It is written in Neo-Aramaic (Surath dialect) and accompanied by an English translation.
