Ebook: Griechische Philosophie und Wissenschaft bei den Ostsyrern: Zum Gedenken an Mār Addai Scher (1867–1915)

Members of the Church of the East, also called the East Syrians, were spread across Persia, India, and China. For centuries, their schools throughout these areas spread the educational curriculum of late antiquity from the fifth and sixth centuries. This book examines the presence and function of Greek knowledge in various works, documenting how the East Syrians became a hub of exchange between Greek, Persian and Early Islamic cultures.
