About this Item

Title

  • Sermons.

Summary

  • This manuscript, dated 1871, contains a selection of 87 homilies of John Chrysostom (circa 347--407), a church father and archbishop of Constantinople. Chrysostom originally wrote in Greek, but he was commonly read in Arabic translations, especially by Coptic and Melkite readers. This particular collection of 87 sermons remains extant in several manuscripts. This copy, however, lacks sermon 15, although the copyist indicates its subject: the casting out of Satan from the man dwelling among the tombs (see Mark 5:1-20). The Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches honor John Chrysostom as a saint. He was known as a great preacher, and his sermons are his most enduring legacy.
