Summary

"Patristic Literature in Arabic Translations offers a panoramic survey of the Arabic translations of the Church Fathers, focusing on those produced in the Palestinian monasteries and at Sinai in the 8th-10th centuries and in Antioch during Byzantine rule (969-1084). These Arabic translations frequently preserve material lost in the original languages (mainly Greek and Syriac). They offer crucial information about the diffusion and influence of patristic heritage among Middle Eastern Christians from the 8th century to the present. A systematic examination of Arabic patristic translations paves the way to an assessment of their impact on Muslim and Jewish theological thought"--

Note

• "In August 2015, the XVII. International Conference on Patristic Studies in Oxford held its very first workshop on Arabic translations of patristic texts. It was a milestone in the study of a promising but insufficiently researched area in the history of Christianity: the translation and reception of patristic works in Arabophone Christian communities (Melkite, Coptic, Maronite, Syrian Orthodox, and the Church of the East). In an attempt to enhance the visibility of this branch of Patristic Studies, the editors have taken the initiative to publish the conference papers in this volume, together with several other relevant contributions from a new generation of scholars of Arabic Christianity. The volume presents and analyzes a wealth of hitherto unstudied texts and manuscripts that are the fruit of various phases in the Graeco-Arabic and Syro-Arabic patristic translation movements."--Preface, page 7.
