The School of Nisibis was the most influential and prominent of the Aramaic-speaking Christian schools of late antique and early Mesopotamia. This volume provides for the first time an annotated translation of the major sources for the School of Nisibis--offering a close historical, linguistic, and thematic analysis. Aside from a general introduction and commentary on each translation, "Sources for the Study of the School of Nisibis" includes the "Cause for the Foundation of the Schools," which provides a history of learning from God's creation of the world to the time of the text's composition at the end of the sixth century; the last two chapters of an East-Syrian "Ecclesiastical History"; and, among other texts, a document composed by Simeon of Bet Arsham, a theological enemy of the School and its history.
