As - Sydenham 309a variant - Crawford 100/1b
No full textSydenham and Crawford's approximate dates of issue for this coin vary greatly. Badian recognized this coin as a variant of Sydenham's 309a classification. Sydenham's Period IV, circa 155-120 B.C.E., focused on changes in bronze and silver standards. However, Crawford's 100/1b classification challenges the date of issue and places it between 209 - 208 B.C.E. The minter is identified by the mark "CA." Crawford and Sydenham agree that the probable mint location is Canusium. Badian incorrectly labeled this coin as 106/1b.CA ROMALaureate head of Janus; above, —Prow to right; above,

Commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia on the Nicene Creed
No full textPart of Alphonse Mingana’s Woodbrooke Studies: Christian Documents in Syriac, Arabic, and Garshuni, edited and translated with a critical apparatus, of which the present book is volume 5, The Commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia on the Nicene Creed is an important document of an instrumental age in the development of Christianity. Theodore (c. 350-428) was clearly the most important biblical scholar of his age. While his theology eventually led to his loss of favor among some branches of the church, Theodore was at least partially responsible for three church councils held to deal with his ideas, including those of Ephesus and Chalcedon. Mingana has published here for the first time a document that had previously been lost and which contains Theodore’s observations on the outcome of the Council of Nicaea, the Nicene Creed.
Alphonse Mingana (1878-1937) was an educator at the Chaldean Seminary in Iraq. He was also a priest in the Assyrian tradition and a collector of ancient manuscripts. He is renowned for his Mingana Collection, a set of nearly 3000 early Syrian and Arabic documents which he acquired and preserved. Mingana eventually immigrated to England, where he spent 17 years in Manchester to continue his work on Oriental Studies."This volume contains the hitherto lost commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia...on the Nicene Creed.
Syriac lexicon Hasan Bar Bahlul. Volume 3
No full textThe massive Syriac-Syriac/Arabic lexicon—actually more an encyclopedia than a mere lexicon—of Bar Bahlul (10th century) is one of two commonly cited Syriac dictionaries from the medieval period, the other being that of Bar Ali. The work includes Syriac words as well as Greek words met in Syriac literature, sometimes with copious explanations. Bar Bahlul, who probably composed his work in Baghdad, used a wide variety of sources, both Syriac and Arabic, in compiling the lexicon. The first two volumes contain the lexicon itself with a critical apparatus, while the third volume has important introductory material, indices, and a list of corrections and additions. The introduction touches on the thirteen manuscripts from which the work was edited and provides the abbreviations used by Bar Bahlul, the author’s life, Latin translations of the Syriac and Arabic prefaces, a detailed list of sources Bar Bahlul used, and a list (and index) of the Aramaic dialects that he cites in the lexicon. The indices are for Syriac and Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Greek, and biblical passages cited. Advanced Syriac scholars and Semitic lexicographers will find the work indispensable
