Jacob of Sarug's Homily on Tamar (Gen 38)
No full textThis small volume contains an edition (from Vatican ms. 117) of Jacob of Sarug’s homily on Tamar (420 lines long). The full title is “On Tamar and on the Mystery of the Church.” The biblical narrative on which the poem is based (Gen 38) gives Jacob the opportunity to discuss various women in the early part of biblical history and in Jesus’ lineage, as well as the fact that a woman who is called a prostitute is in that lineage. Jacob explains how Scripture’s language is used in this regard
Seburn Family Fonds, 1757-1936, n.d. (non-inclusive)
No full textStephen Seburn U.E. (1758-1828), his wife, Mary Haney (1765-1830), and their babe-in-arms, Nancy, were part of a large movement of Loyalist refugees who traveled on foot from New Jersey and arrived in Niagara in 1787. The family settled on Lot 50 in Stamford Township. Stephen farmed, kept a small amount of livestock, and also kept bees, did some carpentry, and made brooms for Fort Niagara. Like other pioneer families, they supplemented their diet by hunting game and foraging for edible plants. By 1797 the Seburns had obtained a Crown Patent for 100 acres in Stamford Township and 300 acres in Thorold Township and were in sufficient financial circumstances that they had contributed to the building of the first Anglican Church in St. Catharines in 1795.
The Seburns had seven children: Nancy Ann (1787-1856), who first married Jacob Wilkerson (1778-1814) who was killed at the Battle of Chippawa, and later married Nathan Hixon (1781- 1856); John (1788-1863) who first married Elizabeth Bessey (1791-1816) and later married Sarah Dolson (1793-1855); Margaret (1790-1872?) who first married George Hoover Junior (1781- 1812) and later married Jacob Vanderburg (1780-1860); Matthew (1791-1859) who married Elizabeth Ann Forbes (1794-1861); William (1793-1843) who married Catherine Lampman (1793- 1865?); Jaocb (1795-1869) who married Hannah Ann Forbes (1799-1883); and Mary (1797-1870) who married John Hudson (1788-?), a former British soldier from Ireland who settled on land obtained from Col. Talbot in London Township. The other Seburn children settled in the Niagara area. All the Seburn men fought and remained loyal during the War of 1812. In total, Stephen and Mary Seburn had 55 grandchildren.

Jacob of Serugh's Homilies on the Spectacles of the Theatre
No full textThis fascinating volume contains excerpts from four otherwise unedited (and untranslated) homilies from Jacob of Sarug on the theatre. These homilies, extant only in a single manuscript (BM Add. 17158), which is unfortunately poorly preserved, are unique for the light they cast on the Greek theatre in the Byzantine period. In this article, originally published in Le Muséon 48 (1935), Moss gives a substantive introduction to the selections presented from these homilies, and then presents the texts in Syriac and in English translation. Scholars and readers interested in Syriac literature, and in Jacob of Sarug in particular, as well as students of the history of the theatre, will find this work of great interest.Translated into English from the Syriac text
Jacob Viner’s Reminiscences from the New Deal (February 11, 1953)
No full textThis paper presents and reproduces an unpublished oral history interview given by Jacob Viner in 1953. The interview released by Viner for the Columbia Oral History Project gives us a valuable opportunity to throw light on his advisory activity during the New Deal Era. In our introduction we attempt to make a critical appraisal of Viner's reminiscences and to state the contribution they can provide to our general knowledge of the period. In addition, we also attempt to find out some biographical and interpretative elements useful to understand Viner’s own vision and his contribution to important economic policy processes during the New Deal.
Jacob of Serugh on the Eucharist: Homilies 22 and 95
No full textIn the two articles reprinted here, Dom Hugh Connolly offers an English translation of two homilies from Jacob of Serugh dealing with the Eucharist. Connolly used the Syriac text of Bedjan’s edition of Jacob’s homilies (also available from Gorgias Press), homilies 22 and 95 in that edition. A short selection from homily 53 is also translated because of its related subject matter. Connolly gives an introduction to each homily and includes some explanatory notes to the texts. These translations originally appeared in The Downside Review, nos. 27 (1908) and 29 (1910).Translated into English from the Syriac text of Bedjan’s edition of Jacob’s homilies.These translations originally appeared in The Downside Review, nos. 27 (1908) and 29 (1910)
