The Bird Who Sang the Trisagion of Isaac of Antioch Becoming Parrot in a Late Antique Syriac Serm
by [Kitchen, Robert A., Peers, Glenn]
$50.35
Description
This book provides close historical, theological and cultural analyses of an important, but neglected, Late Antique writer, Isaac of Antioch, who was active during the second half of the fifth century. This book is the first English-language monograph on this key figure and also includes the first translation (without the Syriac) of this compelling metrical homily into English, which has at its heart the public pronouncement by a parrot of theological truths. The authors situate this remarkable text in the wider fields of performance studies, animal studies and media studies, all areas that can illuminate essential meanings and implications of the homily.
