Description: "Syriac text and English translation of St. John Chrysostom's Exegetical Homilies on the Gospel of John, typically known in Syriac as Chrysostom's Commentary on John, Homilies (Mêmrê) 1-43. The text is edited on the basis of the extant main manuscripts, from the 6th-8th centuries, in addition to excerpts preserved in various collections. Introductions to the two volumes explore the Syriac manuscript tradition, the origin and technique of the translation, its value as a witness to the Greek text, the nature of its many biblical citations, and the impact of the version on the Syriac tradition."--Publisher's description.
Notes: Introduction to volume 1 in English.

72 Syriac texts of Chrysostom's 88 Mêmrê on the Gospel of John are extant. These fall into two groups, Mêmrê 1-44 and Mêmrê 60-88. "The present edition ... follows the same pattern of division."--Volume 1, page XXVII.
