Sargis the Stylite (8th cent.) [Syr. Orth.]

柱头修士萨吉斯 (Sargis the Stylite)(8 世纪)[叙利亚正教会 (Syr. Orth.)]

Body

Author of a ‘letter’ that addresses dogmatic points; disputant with a Jewish interlocutor.

一封论述教义要点的“书信”之作者;与犹太对话者的论辩者。

A ‘Letter’ attributed to ‘Sargis the Stylite of Gusit’ (near Ḥimṣ ) ‘against a Jew who argued that God has no son, and that God has not begotten’ is preserved in a single ms. of the 8th/9th cent. According to its editor the work must belong to the 8th cent. (and not the late 6th, as had earlier been suggested). It is a literary work based on several sources, among them a collection of testimonia; there is also a section on images (of interest in view of the date). In part the work may also be based on an actual discussion with a Jew.

一封归于“古西特(靠近霍姆斯 (Ḥimṣ))的柱行者塞尔吉斯”(Sargis the Stylite of Gusit)的“书信”(Letter),题为“驳一位声称上帝无子且上帝未生子的犹太人”(against a Jew who argued that God has no son, and that God has not begotten),保存于一份 8/9 世纪 (8th/9th cent.) 的单一抄本 (ms.) 中。据其编者称,该作品必属于 8 世纪 (8th cent.)(而非早先提出的 6 世纪末 (late 6th))。这是一部基于多种来源的文学作品,其中包括一部见证集 (testimonia);其中还有一节关于图像 (images) 的内容(鉴于其年代,这一点颇受关注)。该作品部分内容也可能基于与一位犹太人的实际讨论。
