Huge congratulations to @younan.bsky.social on the publication of this newly published translation of several sermons (mēmrē) of Narsai. I know from experience how tricky Narsai can be, but Andrew makes it look easy. I was honored to be among those who wrote a blurb for this important volume.

Just finished reading @younan.bsky.social’s translation of Narsai. I had never read any Narsai before, and I was blown away! (I especially loved Memra 21: On the Temptation of Christ and Memra 44: On the New Creation.) Makes we want to try to tackle some Narsai in Syriac now!

Narsai was all over Public Television and the Radio when I was younger. I was lucky enough to visit his restaurant and market when I was a kid and they were like Disneyland. My love for food grew out of the visits. www.berkeleyside.org/2024/07/26/n...

It’s an exciting year for Syriac poetry. In addition to these terrific Narsai sources, there is also Adam Becker’s new edition and translation of Isaac(s) of Antioch’s rebuke memre, as well as Bob Kitchen’s translation of the Memra on the Parrot.

First of all, for the uninitiated: who in the world is Narsai? Don't feel bad if you don't know. This guy has been overlooked or ignored for centuries (for multiple reasons).
Narsai of Nisibis was a late 5th century preacher and theologian associated with the nascent Church of the East movement.
