  BARDAISAN - LoveToKnow Article on BARDAISAN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
His parents were of rank and probably pagan; according to Barhebraeus, he was in youth a priest in a heathen temple at MabbOg.
He is said to have converted the prince to Christianity, and may have had an important share in christianizing the city.
Epiphanius and Barhebraeus assert that he was first an orthodox Christian and afterwards an adherent of Valentinus; but Eu sebius and the Armenian Moses of Chorene reverse the order, stating that in his later days he largely, but not completely, purged himself of his earlier errors.

 Arabian Philosophy
To the Isagoge of Porphyry, the Categories and Hermeneutica of Aristotle, the labours of these Syrian schoolmen were confined: these they expounded, translated, epitomized, and made the basis of their compilations; and the few who were bold enough to attempt the Analytics, seem to have laid down the pen with their ask unaccomplished.
The energy of the Monophysites, however, began to sink with the rise of the Moslem empire; and when philosophy revived amongst them in the 13th century, in the person of Gregorius Barhebraeus (1226-1286), the revival was due to the example and influence of the Arabian thinkers.
Gaining by means of their professional skill as physicians a high rank in the society of the Moslem world, the Nestorian scholars soon made Baghdad familiar with the knowledge of Greek philosophy and science which they possessed.

, who ranks with Barhebraeus as the most distinguished for scholarship among Syriac writers,3, was born at En-dbhg in the province of Antioch, probably about AD.
It is still a moot question how far Jacob is to be regarded as the author of the five vowel-signs derived from Greek which soon after came into use among the Jacobites.
In any case he made the most important contribution to Syriac grammar down to the time of Barhebraeus.

 HORN: Book Review - Mathunny John Panicker. The Person of Jesus Christ in the Writings of Juhanon Gregorius Abu’l ...
In his discussion of Barhebraeus’s methodology, Panicker, moreover, emphasizes that Barhebraeus submitted himself to a principle of selection of prooftexts from patristic authors that was in accord with this conciliatory spirit.
Panicker sees that for Barhebraeus “Jesus Christ is one double nature.” That Barhebraeus’s expression here differs from Severus of Antioch’s ύπόστασις; σύνθετος,3 is a point which Panicker does not develop.
For Panicker, Barhebraeus lived out the ideal of ecumenism by holding on to the right belief of his own church and at the same time reaching out and communicating across the boundaries of denominations.

 The New York Review of Books: THE VANISHED LIBRARY
John the Grammarian who, according to the Barhebraeus story, pleaded with 'Amr for his library, is believed to have lived and died in the previous century.
Barhebraeus, the principal source used by Western historians, lived from 1226 to 1289.
Not the creation, but the demolition of the myth was the achievement of European scholarship, which from the 18th century to the present day has rejected the story as false and absurd, and thus exonerated the Caliph 'Umar and the early Muslims from this libel.

By Barhebraeus’ time, the various Christian communities that had established themselves in Palestine in the fourth century, including Georgians, Armenians, Greeks, Syrians, Arabs, and Latin-speakers, could welcome their countrymen from home only after the latter had been escorted through the perilous countryside by Muslim dragoman-guides.
Barhebraeus’ Ethicon, written in Azerbaijan in 1279, voices the same Christian uneasiness about pilgrimage to the Holy Land that Gregory of Nyssa expressed, and that was to explode three centuries later in the Latin West.
Barhebraeus was a polymath, learned in classical philosophy, Christian theology, and Arabic literature.

 Gorgias Press - Takahashi, Hidemi. Barhebrarus: A Bio-Bibliography
The Syriac Orthodox prelate and polymath Gregory Abu al-Faraj Barhebraeus (Bar `Ebroyo) is indisputably the greatest author of the so-called Syriac Renaissance of the twelfth to thirteenth centuries and his works have been the subject of innumerable studies over the past four centuries.
There has, however, been little study in recent years aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of his life and works and the present volume is an attempt to fill this gap.
The volume begins with a biographical account of Barhebraeus, which takes into consideration the results of the latest research, as well as those studies from the past, some of which have lain almost forgotten in obscure corners of libraries.

Barhebraeus wrote them near the end of life, when the Syriac language was rapidly losing ground to Arabic; it almost disappeared as a living language shortly after his death.
This publication deals with the practical philosophy in Barhebraeus's enclyclopaedia of Aristotelian wisdom "Butyrum sapientiae." The three Syriac books on Ethics, Politics and Economy are unique and the only specimens of its kind, surviving in the Syriac language and literature.

 A Bird's Eye View of the Syriac Language and Literature
The Arab invasions prevented close contacts with the Greek-speaking world just when Syriac culture was at the most hellenophile stage of its history.
The most famous writers of this period of revival are the patriarch Michael the Great, author of the most important of all Syriac chronicles (comparing ecclesiastical, secular and contemporary events up to his time) and the Syriac polymath Gregory Abu'l Faraj better known as Barhebraeus (died 1286).
Gregory wrote on every aspect of human knowledge of his time, such as philosophy, medicine, grammar, theology, spirituality, wisdom and wit, history and other subjects.

 An Introduction to Syriac, ±Ô§Q¨È»y, ±Ð¾Ç, Printed Matter
Syriac belongs to the Levantine group of the central branch of the West Semitic languages.
Syriac literature flourished from the third century on and boasts of writers like Ephraem Syrus, Aphraates, Jacob of Sarug, John of Ephesus, Jacob of Edessa, and Barhebraeus.
After the Arab con-quests, Syriac became the language of a tolerated but disenfranchised and diminishing community and began a long, slow decline both as a spoken tongue and as a literary medium in favor of Arabic.
