Ryssel here offers a German translation of a variety of works from George, Bishop of the Arabs (died 724). Included here are poems on monasticism and the chrism, and several letters dealing with a variety of topics, including chronological questions, astronomy/astrology, Jacob of Edessa, Ephrem, Gregory Nazianzen, Aphrahat, and Gregory the Illuminator. In addition, Ryssel has translated George’s completion of Jacob of Edessa’s Hexaermeron. At the beginning of the work, Ryssel gives an overview of George’s life, and a large portion of the book is taken up with his explanatory notes on the translations, which themselves also have a textual apparatus. The book concludes with indices for biblical passages, names, and subjects.
