In these collections, early Greek Christian literature underwent a substantial process of selection and re-organization. The papers collected in this volume study Syriac florilegia in their own right, as cultural products possessing their own specific textuality, and outline a phenomenology of Syriac patristic florilegia by mapping their diffusion and relevance in time and space, from the 6th to the 17th century, from the Roman Empire to China.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables  Abbreviations  Notes on Contributors    1 Syriac Florilegia and Patristic Christianity beyond East and West   Emiliano Fiori    2 An Unpublished Syriac Collection of the Old Testament Testimonia against the Jews from the Early Islamic Period   Sergey Minov    3 Tongues on a Golden Mouth: The Transition from Scholia to Florilegia as Evidenced in a Sixth-Century Syriac Chrysostom Manuscript   Yonatan Moss    4 Heresiology and Florilegia: The Reception of Epiphanius of Salamis’ Panarion and Ephrem the Syrian’s Prose Refutations and Hymns against Heresies   Flavia Ruani    5 A Geological Approach to Syriac Miaphysite Christology (Sixth-Ninth Centuries): Detours of a Patristic Florilegium from Antioch to Tagrit   Emiliano Fiori    6 Patristic Tradition, Trinitarian Doctrine, and Metaphysics in Abū Rāʾiṭah al-Takrītī’s Polemics against the Melkites   Bishara Ebeid    7 Beyond Abbreviation: The Reception of Gregory of Nyssa, Severus of Antioch, and the Song of Songs in a Syriac Exegetical Collection (BL Add. 12168)   Marion Pragt    8 A Syriac Monk’s Reading of Ephrem of Nisibis: A Perspective on Syriac Monastic Miscellanies   Grigory Kessel    9 Meandering through Monastic Miscellanies from Turfan to Iraq: First Remarks on the Comparison of Sogdian Manuscript E28 with Syriac Ascetic Collections Referable to It   Vittorio Berti    10 The Shining Lamp: An Arabic Florilegium of Conciliar Texts   Herman G.B.
