Document Details : Title: Jacob of Serugh's Verse Homily on Tamar (Gen. 38) Author(s): BROCK, Sebastian Journal: Le Muséon Volume: 115 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2002 Pages: 279-315 DOI: 10.2143/MUS.115.3.333 Abstract : Two of the first European scholars to show an interest in, and appreciation of, Jacob of Serugh's poetry were Pius Zingerle (1801-1881) and his nephew Joseph Zingerle (1831-1891), and among the latter's publications was an edition of Jacob's Memra on Tamar (Gen. 38). Since this Memra is a particularly fine example of Jacob’s artistry, and since Zingerle's edition is hard of access, the text is republished here, accompanied by an annotated English translation. The Memra also happens to be of considerable exegetical interest. |
