This paper discusses chapters 1–16 of his Introduction to the Psalms that comprised 32 chapters.1 Though written more than a millennium ago, Daniel’s introduction provides many useful and important points for the modern student, and he provides a wealth of ideas and quotes from earlier Syriac writers, including Ephrem and Aphrahat as well as Greek writers and Jewish traditions. The first to write on Psalms in the Syrian Orthodox tradition, Daniel of Ṣalaḥ’s impact has been significant and his work is still studied today in the Syrian Orthodox church.
