Серия III: Филология772023137-155The publication presents a translation from the Syriac language of the anonymous Sogita about Abraham and Isaac (5th century). The introductory article discusses the peculiarities of the Syriac versifi cation and characterises the sogita as a liturgical exegetical genre. The infl uence of the Jewish tradition on the structureforming principles of the Sogita genre is also traced; this is manifested in its dependence on the principles of narrative exegesis. A special feature of the latter is the obligatory reconstruction of plot details missing in the biblical narrative as well as describing characters as a way to set the right perspective of understanding of the text. In turn, the mutual infl uence of Christian Syriac and Byzantine literatures is refl ected not only in the array of ideas, but also in the choice of means of rhetorical expressiveness for church preaching. The poetic form and dialogues between biblical heroes among the Syrians were mandatory for almost all homiletic genres (sogita, madrash, memra) from the very beginning of their existence. Among the Byzantines, dramatic homilies began to appear only in the 5th century, and the rhythmised prose of sermons, facilitating the transition from the ancient metrical versifi cation to the syllabic, gradually acquired a new poetic form for the Greeks. In the comments to the sogita, there are collections of interpretations of a particular problem that have developed in all three traditions: Syrian, Byzantine, and Jewish, which makes it possible to clearly understand how the same exegetical methods worked to justify solutions that diff er from each other.
