A fifth-sixth century clergyman-cum-theologian, Jacob of Serugh (also
spelled Sarug), was an extremely prolific writer. Not counting a number
of works in prose, he is said to have written nearly 800 homilies,
mostly on themes of theological import or biblical stories and
personalities. These homilies are composed in metre: each line has
twelve vowels.
So far less than 150 such homilies have been edited and/or translated. Hexaemeron is an exposition of the first six days of the universe. Jacob dedicated an extra homily to the sabbath, making a total of seven homilies. This genre was known earlier in Greek. Jacob's is the first of the kind in Syriac.
Currently the only complete text of Jacob's Hexaemeron is available in an edition by Bedjan (1905-10), but with no translation. This is the first time that this highly interesting work is made available in its entirety, accompanied by an English translation. The editor studies six complete manuscripts and one containing only two homilies. None of these seven manuscrips was available to Bedjan, and one of them is presumably as old as the principal manuscript used by Bedjan.
