Description
Summary:This paper aims to highlight the original points the West-Syrian and Miaphysite theologian Abū Rāʾiṭah al-Takrītī (d. 838) uses to defend the addition into the Trisagion hymn: his liturgical arguments, his biblical arguments, and his means of relating Theopaschism to what he maintains to be a proper metaphysical system. The main purpose of the essay, however, is to analyse the patristic quotations Abū Rāʾiṭah provides to support his position and to demonstrate its orthodoxy. A comparative analysis of these quotations with some Syriac florilegia compiled by Miaphysites between the eighth and ninth centuries demonstrates that Abū Rāʾiṭah had access to such florilegia and their sources and used them into creating his own florilegium.Questo articolo intende evidenziare i punti originali nell’apologia per l’aggiunta nel Trisagion scritta dal teologo siro-occidentale e miafisita Abū Rāʾiṭah al-Takrītī (m. 838), in particolare le sue argomentazioni liturgiche e bibliche e il modo in cui lega il Teopaschismo con quello che egli ritiene il corretto sistema metafisico. Lo scopo principale dell’articolo e di analizzare le citazioni patristiche che egli fornisce a sostegno della sua posizione e per dimostrare la sua ortodossia. Attraverso un’analisi comparativa di queste citazioni con florilegi siriaci compilati da miafisiti tra l’VIII e il IX secolo si dimostra che Abū Rāʾiṭah aveva accesso a tali florilegi e alle loro fonti, e che le ha usati per creare il suo florilegio.
