Research

Syriac literature produced by Middle Eastern Christian communities between the 7th and 10th centuries, which has been largely neglected by European scholars, although it was a key period in the development of the ideology and theology of all the Syriac churches. These texts are also of key importance for understanding the origins of Islamic theology, and Christian-Islamic relations in the region, as well as for the contrasts they provide with European Christian thought.
