Along the way, the prince falls asleep and forgets his identity and mission. A letter from his parents awakens him, gives him a spell to put the serpent to sleep so he can retrieve the pearl, and then guides him home. The poem was originally composed in Syriac, translated into Greek, and later paraphrased in Greek again in a homily. These three texts are all published here with a parallel English translation on facing pages, accompanied by an introduction, commentary, and Syriac and Greek glossaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Bremer-McCollum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674301463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674301467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Adam Bremer-McCollum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526486774015,"sku":"9780674301467","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36d7195b-89de-477a-ab9b-ce1c7a594229.jpg?v=1737556323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pearlsong-adam-bremer-mccollum-9780674301467","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
