Abstract :
The article presents for the first time the text, translation and discussion of a surviving fragment of a Syriac anti-Jewish polemic from previously unknown composition by Garšūn, a little-known West Syrian writer from the Islamic period. The newly published fragment, in which the author defends Christian doctrine of the Messianic status of Jesus, makes a valuable addition to the repertory of anti-Jewish polemics among Syriac Christians during the medieval period.
