It offers the reader a rich anthology and the most complete historical sketch of the \u003ci\u003edorektha\u003c\/i\u003e genre, surveying published and unpublished works by Chaldean and Assyrian authors. Texts dating from 1607\/08 to 1980 AD are critically edited and translated into English, with linguistic, philological and literary comments: \u003ci\u003eOn Repentance\u003c\/i\u003e by Hormizd of Alqosh (17th cent.); the poetic diptych \u003ci\u003eOn the Torments of Hell\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOn the Delights of the Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e by Damynanos of Alqosh, which shows the author's indebtedness to Italian Baroque sermons; \u003ci\u003eOn a Famine in the Year 1898\u003c\/i\u003e by the poetess Anne of Telkepe, probably the first work by a woman to enter the CSCO; the fascinating and living story of the \u003ci\u003eHermit Barmalka\u003c\/i\u003e by Joseph 'Abbaya of Alqosh; \u003ci\u003eOn an Attack by the Mongols at Karamlish\u003c\/i\u003e, in which Thomas Hanna of Karamlish elaborates on classical sources such as Gewargis Warda and Barhebreus; the touching and beautiful elegy \u003ci\u003eOn Exile\u003c\/i\u003e by Yohannan Cholagh, who deals with the Christian emigration from Iraq, a contemporary social problem that is even more pressing today than in 1980, when the poem first appeared in \u003ci\u003eQala Suryaya\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55171412754806,"sku":"9789042922761","price":96.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29862917.jpg?v=1737420517","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042922761-religious-poetry-in-vernacular-syriac-from-northern-iraq-17th-20th-centuries-an-anthology-t","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
