| Summary: | This is the first volume in a new series devoted to writers of the Christian Orient, thus serving as a very welcome complement to the series covering Greek and Latin writers which is published by Routledge. As one of the earliest Christian theologians of the Middle East to write in Arabic, Theodore Abu Qurrah, who evidently flourished c.800, was a good choice to initiate the new series. Lamoreaux provides a helpful introduction of some 25 pages in the course of which he introduces Theodore (about whom little is really known) and his writings (unusually, he wrote in both Greek and Arabic—and maybe Syriac as well, but nothing of his in that language survives). |
