	Ephraem (or Ephem) the Syrian (c. 306 - 373)
		EPHREM SYRUS (or Ephraem) is the most prominent of the fathers of the Syrian Church in the fourth century, and the greatest orator I and hymn-writer produced by that church.
		The rest of his Syrian works, contained in the third volume of the Roman edition, consist of sermons, tracts, and hymns, all written in verse; that is, in lilies of an equal number of syllables, grouped together in strophes, and adorned with rhymes and alliterations.
		Several Syrian works ascribed to Ephraem still remain in manuscript; as, for instance, a world’s chronicle from the creation to the birth of Christ, of which one manuscript is found in the library of the Vatican, another in the British Museum.

	Ephrem the Syrian - OrthodoxWiki
		Ephrem was born around the year 306, in the city of Nisibis (the modern Turkish town of Nusaybin, on the border with Syria).
		Ephrem is popularly credited as the founder of the School of Nisibis, which in later centuries was the centre of learning of the Assyrian Church of the East (i.e., the Nestorians).
		Ephrem combines in his writing a threefold heritage: he draws on the models and methods of early Rabbinic Judaism, he engages wonderfully with Greek science and philosophy, and he delights in the Mesopotamian/Persian tradition of mystery symbolism.

	Diatessaron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Diatessaron was used as the standard Gospel text in the liturgy of the Syrian Church for two centuries and was quoted or alluded to by Syrian writers.
		Ephrem the Syrian wrote a commentary on it, which was rediscovered in 1957, when a Syriac manuscript acquired by Sir Chester Beatty from the Coptic monastery of Deir es-Suriani in Wadi Natrun, Egypt (now Chester Beatty Syriac MS 709, Dublin) turned out to contain the text of Ephrem's commentary.
		Hence from the Syriac Diatessaron text was derived an 11th Century Arabic harmony (the source for the published versions of the Diatessaron in English); and a 13th Century Persian harmony.

	RUSSELL: The Image of the Infant Jesus in Ephrem the Syrian
		Ephrem focuses on the contrast between humanity and divinity, between the extreme helplessness of the new-born human and the limitless power of the fully Divine Son of God, in order to impress that duality of natures in Christ on the mind of his listener.
		Ephrem is not delighting in apparent absurdities for their own sakes, but is providing, instead, a building block for the final and most important aspect of his use of this image.
		Ephrem imagines the Son entering into the created world as a person in it, while Theodore's idea seems to be that the Son has drawn close enough to creation to associate Himself with it, but not in a manner that commits Him to it holistically, beyond what He desires at any moment.

		Ephrem the Syrian, known as 'Harp of the Holy Spirit' is undoubtedly the greatest poet and theologian that the Syrian Church ever produced.

	ZENIT - On St. Ephrem the Syrian
		Saint Ephrem's theology, deeply grounded in the Scriptures and profoundly orthodox in content, was expressed in poetic language marked by striking paradoxes and vivid imagery.
		Through his mastery of poetic symbolism, Ephrem sought to communicate, especially in his Hymns, the mystery of the trinitarian God, the incarnation of the eternal Son born of the Virgin Mary, and the spiritual treasures contained in the Eucharist.
		Particularly significant is Ephrem's teaching on our redemption by Christ: his poetic descriptions of the interplay of the divine and human aspects of this great mystery foreshadowed the theology and, to some extent, even the language of the great Christological definitions of the councils of the next century.

	St. Ephrem
		Ephrem gives his poetry and liturgical hymns a didactic and catechetical genre: they are theological hymns yet at the same time suitable for recitation or liturgical song.

		Ephrem, honoured by Christian tradition with the title 'Harp of the Holy Spirit', remained a deacon of the Church throughout his life.

	About St. Ephrem
		Ephrem the Syrian (306-373), known among Eastern Christians as “the Harp of the Spirit,” is noteworthy for many reasons.

		Ephrem, by choice, occupied an ambiguous position, in the hierarchy yet not of it.
