CREATED: This bibl record was autogenerated from a Zotero record.Alexander V.PolkhovskyThe Discourse of Saint Ephrem the Syrian on Virginityhttp://syriaca.org/cbss/2IDAWUFXhttps://www.zotero.org/groups/a_comprehensive_bibliography_on_syriac_studies/items/2IDAWUFXhttps://www.zotero.org/groups/4861694/items/2IDAWUFXТруды Минской духовной академии15201879-104This publication is devoted to the «Discourse on Virginity», which was not previously translated into Russian – a literary work owned by one of the most famous Syrian-speaking Christian writers of the fourth century, Mar Ephrem of Nisibis, in the Greek and Slavic traditions called Ephrem the Syrian. In this work, skillfully taking advantage of his poetic talent and excellent knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, Saint Ephrem uncovers an important topic for both early Syriac Christianity as a whole and for himself in particular, related to the virgin way of life.
The honor of the discovery of the Syriac text «The Discourse on Virginity» and its subsequent publication along with other writings of the Saint Ephrem are associated with the name of the remarkable scholar of the early twentieth century Mitchell W. S.
