This work, the author’s dissertation, has for its subject a unique Syriac poem (301 lines) on philosophy, particularly of the Aristotelian variety, and wisdom generally. After a thorough introduction touching on the manuscripts used for the work (from Berlin), the intellectual milieu out of which the poem came, and of course its content, he presents a critical edition of the text, (mostly) vocalized and with German translation. The text will be of interest to readers concerned with the reception of Greek philosophy in Syriac and Syriac poetry.
