The Heirs of Theodore: Aḥob of Qatar and the Development of the East Syriac Exegetical Tradition (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004539310)

In The Heirs of Theodore Seth M. Stadel examines Aḥob of Qatar, a late 6th-century East Syriac biblical commentator, and his surviving Old Testament exegetical works. He further investigates what can be deduced of Aḥob's influence on the later East Syriac exegetical tradition, and he details the originality of Aḥob's exegesis, especially in comparison with earlier and contemporary Greek and Syriac sources. By presenting the first annotated edition, English translation, and study of Aḥob's extant Old Testament exegetical works, Stadel is able to show that Aḥob represents a distinct voice within the East Syriac exegetical tradition.
