| description | The publication presents a translation from the Syriac language of the anonymous
Sogita about Abraham and Isaac (V century). The introductory article discusses the issue of the
peculiarities of the Syriac versification, characterizes the sogita as a liturgical exegetical genre,
as well. In addition, the influence of the Jewish tradition on the structure-forming principles of
the Sogita genre is traced, which was manifested in its dependence on the principles of narrative
exegesis. A characteristic feature of the latter is the obligatory reconstruction of the plot details
and characteristics of the characters missing in the biblical narrative as a way to set the text the
right perspective of understanding. In turn, the mutual influence of Christian Syriac and
Byzantine literatures is reflected not only in the set of ideas, but also in the choice of means of
rhetorical expressiveness for church preaching. The poetic form and dialogues between biblical
heroes among the Syrians were mandatory for almost all homiletic genres (sogita, madrash,
memra) from the very beginning of their existence. Among the Byzantines, dramatic homilies
began to appear only in the fifth century, and the rhythmized prose of sermons, facilitating the
transition from the ancient metrical versification to the syllabic, gradually acquired a new poetic
form for the Greeks. In the comments to the sogita, there are collections of interpretations of a
particular problem that have developed in all three traditions: Syrian, Byzantine, and Jewish,
which makes it possible to clearly understand how the same exegetical methods worked to
justify solutions that differ from each other. |
