Earl Ledden Professor of Religion, Emerita, Syracuse University, USA “Isaac of Antioch is a mysterious figure of late antique Syriac Christianity, prolific yet understudied. There is much to learn here, and much to enjoy – whether of Isaac’s world or our own. Partnering meticulous scholarship with imaginative insight and depth, this is work that instructs and delights at every turn.” —Susan Ashbrook Harvey, Willard Prescott and Annie McClelland Smith Professor of History and Religion, Brown University, USA This book provides close historical, theological and cultural analyses of an important, but neglected, Late Antique writer, Isaac of Antioch, who was active during the second half of the fifth century. This book is the first English-language monograph on this key figure and also includes the first translation (without the Syriac) of this compelling metrical homily into English, which has at its heart the public pronouncement by a parrot of theological truths. The authors situate this remarkable text in the wider fields of performance studies, animal studies and media studies, all areas that can illuminate essential meanings and implications of the homily. Robert A. Kitchen is a retired minister of the United Church of Canada, who has extensive experience in teaching the Syriac language and publishing on theology related to this tradition. Glenn Peers is emeritus professor at the University of Texas at Austin and Syracuse University, USA; his field is Byzantine and East Christian art and culture. . 0aClassical literature.967646 0aLiterature, Ancient.967647 0aMiddle Eastern literature. 0aPoetry.966137 0aEcocriticism.94402314aClassical and Antique Literature.96765124aMiddle Eastern Literature.24aPoetry and Poetics.96614124aEcocriticism.9440231 aPeers, Glenn.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9806702 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303160076008iPrinted edition:z978303160078408iPrinted edition:z9783031600791 0aPalgrave Studies in Animals and Literature,x2634-634696704740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-60077-7  aZDB-2-LCM  aZDB-2-SXL  c61647d61647
