{"product_id":"the-sentences-of-the-syriac-david-monaco-9781611434880","title":"The Sentences of the Syriac Menander","description":"The Sentences of the Syriac Menander appears in two Syriac manuscripts in the British Library, a full version in one codex, and a far shorter version, only a small fraction thereof, in another. This book presents a commentary on the text in its complete version focusing on parallels from both Jewish tradition and the Greco-Roman world, showing that the text is not, as it claims, the work of the Greek author Menander, but rather a work of Jewish Wisdom Literature composed in Syriac, possibly in the ancient city of Edessa itself, and preserved within Christian monastic circles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Monaco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611434882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611434880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gorgias Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"David Monaco","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44321497022719,"sku":"9781611434880","price":79.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43845068-6476-45b0-a8a3-c85d2768ec35.jpg?v=1696331204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sentences-of-the-syriac-david-monaco-9781611434880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
