Patristic Literature in Arabic Translations

Patristic Literature in Arabic Translations lead image
As the first collection of studies devoted entirely to this subject, Barbara Roggema and Alexander Treiger’s Patristic Literature in Arabic Translations brings together ten excellent essays which, for the most part, concentrate on the two earliest stages of this long and on-going process, i.e., the translations made in Palestine and Sinai (ca. eighth to tenth centuries) and those made in and around Antioch during the period of Byzantine rule (969-1084).
