      As in his earlier collections in the series, in 1984 and 1992 Brock (Oxford U.) considers interactions between the Syriac and Greek literary cultures of late antiquity. Some of the 16 articles, most published in the 1990s, explore general aspects such as Eusebius and Syriac Christianity, and the Syriac background to the world of Theodore of Tarsus. Others focus on specific texts or genres of texts, particularly dialogue and dispute poems; they include two Syriac verse homilies on the binding of Isaac, and some uses of the term theoria in Isaac of Nineveh. Two final offerings look at Greek words borrowed into Syriac and a literary topos beloved by Greek, Latin, and Syriac scribes in their colophon: the scribe reaches harbor. The excerpts are given in the original and in translation. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
