Produced in a West Syrian milieu during the Islamic period, these homilies serve as important evidence for studying the development of the anti-Armenian polemical literature among Syriac Christians and reveal the influence of anti-Jewish rhetoric on this tradition. The text is complemented by an English translation and a concise discussion.
