JAMES OF EDESSA

THE HYMNS OF SEVERUS OF ANTIOCIF AND OTHERS

SYRIAC VERSION EDITED AND TRANSLATED BY

E. W. BROOKS

PREFACE

The following text is taken from two Brit. Mus. MSS., Add. 17,134 (A) and 18,816 (B), which contain James of Edessa’s revision of the Syriac version of a collection of Greek hymns, most of which are ascribed to Se- verus of Antioch. This version was according to James' made by Paul bishop of Edessa, while living in Cyprus to which he had fled before the Persian invasion. As the only well-known bishop Paul of Edessa died in 526, it has been supposed that there is some confusion with the archi- mandrite Paul, the translator of Gregory, who was in Cyprus in 624*; but ilis incredible that Jumes should have made such à mistake, and, as in his chronicle he mentions a Paul bishop of Edessa contemporary with the Per- sian invasion and states that many eastern bishops fled to Egypt before the Persians, and as we know that on the conquest of Egypt many of its inhab- itants took refuge in Cyprus, it is obvious to identify this Paul with our translator, and the date of the version many therefore be fixed at 619-629. It was not a literal rendering, but contained alterations and interpolatiens made for rhythmical purposes; and therefore in 675' James of Edessa made a revision of it, in which literal translations were inserted above the line and interpolations were distinguished by red pant. Of the pre-FJacobean text no MSS. seem to survive, and the actual recension of James exists in the two above-mentioned MSS. only, though collections based upon it are found in à large number of Brit. Mus. MSS. described in Wright, p. 310-358, Nat Syr. (9%, Paris Syr. 337. Oxford Syr. 351, Cambridye Add. 1993, and others. In all of these the hymns are in different order (no two, as far

6 PRÉFACE. [6]

as Î am aware, agree), and many others are added; and they arc no doubt recensions made for liturgical purposes. which also appears from the fact that the hymns are arranged according to the 8 tones to which they were set : whence the collection is often known as the Octocchus, though in the two chief MSS. the tones are not mentioned except in a few places, where thev <seem to be later additions". None of these later recensions contains the prosphoric hymns*. The corrections and painted letters are not found in B, except in part of hymns 131 and 132; but, as B often gives a better text than A, Wrights conclusion that A is an autograph of James cannot be accepted, though from the handwriting it cannot be much later, while B is of the 9" cent.

The chief value of the work of James however lies in the fact that he gives the scriptural references in full in the margin, thus supplving a new source for the criticism of the sacred text. In the NT. the citations are all from the Peshito except in some passages from the Acts, where another text seems to have been used, while in the OT. they are sometimes from the Peshito, sometimes from the LXX, sometimes from neither, and Ï cannot trace anv principle except that in Genesis they are from P, in the rest of the law from LXX.in Job and inthe books not contained in the Hebrew from LNXX. in Daniel from Fheodotion, and in Isuialh in the earlier hyvmns generally from P, in the later generally from LXX?. In the Syriac text I have given all citations in full; but in the translation, where they come from P, I have given only the variations from Lee’s text, except in the Psalms, where [ have used that of Barnes, and the Gospels, where E bave used that of Gwilliam as the standard. The citations are alwavs from P except where the contrary is stated : in such cases they are translatel in full. In B, except in hymns 131, 132, only references, not citations, are given. This is some- times done by A also, and in these cases I add the words not quoted ?.

Of the liturgical MSS. I have used Brit. Mus. Add. 14,514, 17,136, NÉS MOMIE AI Ent re Cambridue, Paris, and Vatican MSS., for photographs of the last two of which 1 am indebted to the kindness Of ME Graflin, but have not except in a few places given their variants. The

variants of À I have given throughout, but, to save space, Ï have not gene-

1. For the sake of comparison with other recensions 1 have given the tone (third of the numbers preceding the text), wherever I could learn it from other MSS.

2. À few are in Brit. Mus. Add. 18,819, but in another version.

3. As James’ own recension was made later, we cannot expect any connexion with it, nor, as far as I Eave been to compare it, have I found any. In very few cases there is some resemblance to the Syriac Hexaplar.

painted words aud letters are represented in the text by estrangelo type and

in the translation bv italics, and the corrections of James are placed in the

Son and Word of God, who filleth all things, but is not himself confined and contained by all things, « bowed the heavens and came down »' in his mercy to us on earth, and was contained without being confined in a virgin’s womb in à manner inexpressible. Having become Imcarnate from her without variation, he is born according to the laws of conception: and by an innovation he overcame the laws of nature : for he was conceived as a babe by à miracle, and fulfilled the lime of nine months conception ; but by his birth he did not burst the bond and the closed seals of his mothers virginitv. Ask not how : for, if he is Emmanuel who was born, his birth ts incomprehensible, and the manner of such a miracle is past finding out*. Being led therefore by the star of light to go up to heaven with the exes of our mind, let us all with the Magi” bless and worship him as Maker of heu- ven andof earth, offering praise to his great merex and his grace toward us.

The birth of Emmanuel in the flesh from the Virgin Mary was not preceded by the exercise of copulation, but* only by the de- scent of the Holy Spirits and this God-befitting miracle is confirmed by the closed seal of virginity which is preserved even after the birth. But, before you look at and regard the mother's womb, and call him à babe who is borne and enclosed in his mother’s arms, the Magi draw near, and bid and urge you to look at the star, and consider in your heart God the Word who descended and came from heaven, and to confess the same to be earthly and heavenly : whom also let us bless and worship and praise as God the Saviour of all and the mereiful.

confess like Paul the teacher of mysteries, who wrote in his teaching and sait to the peoples, « But, when the fulness of time was come, God sent his Son an! he was born of a woman »'. Forthe conception and the true birth with the swaddling-clothes bear witness to the truth of the Incarnation; while to the descent without a body from on high witness * is borne by the Star which appeared to the Magi; and that he is God the frankincense also that is offered to him as to à god proclaims; while the gold that was offered him which was placed belore his feet as a king bears witness to his power over all; and the saving Passion which he endured on our behall in the flesh and the anmhilation of corruption by the life-giving burial were preligured by the sweet smell of myrrh. In virtue of them all therefore let us bless and worship him who even in his very exXinanition is shown to be full, asking of him forgiveness of sins and his great mercy.

Since by reason of our sin of disobedience (for 1he sin of our father Adam is that of all of us) the flesh' desires what is contrary to the spirit, Christ our God established and ordained the fast for us «as a medicine; Who, when he had of his own will in his mercy become incarnate without variation and become man in the time of the last davs, in his graciousness underrent and fulfilled this on behalf of us the weak ones; so that thencelorth by an inrer- sion the spirit desired high and heavenlr things contrarv to the flesh. While we fulfil this, accept us, Lord; and ôn thy merey grant that we may al! [of- fer repentance like the Ninivites® and fast from sins in our soul; and that each one of us may depart ® and turn aside from his evil Way, and from the service of fout things. and from the acquisition of imiquity that is in his hands : and that we may like the tax-watherer sav with penitenec of soul, Merciful Lord, be gracious to me a sinner and [have mercy upon‘ me » *.
