AB "This is the first monograph on Sylvester, patriarch of the Church of Antioch from 1724 to 1766, based on extensive Greek, Arabic, and Romanian sources, many previously unknown. Sylvester faced various challenges stemming from the every-changing balance of power between the Latin Church, the Patriarchate of Constantinople, Western European interests and Ottoman rule. His activities as an iconographer and his role in the translation and printing of Arabic books in Iaşi and Bucharest (Romanian Principalities), and then in Beirut, are the main focus of this book. A catalogue of his icons, a list of his letter exchanges, and rich illustrations offer a new perspective on the life of this outstanding patriarch." --
