Etudes sur le christianisme arabe au Moyen AgeVariorum
Gerard Troupeau
ISBN: 0860785602
price: $127.95 hardcover
This volume brings together a set of articles on the history
of eastern Christianity and the Arabic traditions which, from the
8th century, gradually superseded those in Greek , Syriac and Coptic.
In the first group of studies, Professor Troupeau looks at a number
of particular aspects of Arabic Christianity - the literary history
of the 10th-12th centuries (including a general survey of the topic,
which opens the volume), its social history (monasteries and festivals),
and the development of its own specific vocabulary. The following
articles include editions and translations of scriptural texts and
philosophical and theological treatises by Christian writers, Melkite,
Jacobite, and Nestorian, and present works by some contemporary Muslim
authors who were interested in Christianity.
