The project, funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and based at the Center for Research of the Christian East at the University of Salzburg, focuses on the role of Syrian Christians in the process of transmission of Classical Greek philosophical and scientific literature during the early medieval period.
Between 2021 and 2025, the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) has granted funds to support Yury Arzhanov’s research project at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg’s Center for Research of the Christian East. Since 2018, Dr Arzhanov has been teaching the history of Syriac literature at the University of Salzburg, as part of the university programme for further education “MA in Syriac Theology” (led by Aho Shemunkasho). His current project on Sergius of Rešʿayna investigates the role of Syrian Christians in the process of transmission of Classical Greek scientific and philosophical literature (especially Aristotle’s logical works) in the early medieval period.
From Alexandria to Baghdad
In the scholarly literature, this transmission process is traditionally described as going “from
Alexandria to Baghdad”. The current project focuses on the key-figure in the history of Syriac
reception and transmission of
Greek philosophy, Sergius of Rešʿayna (died in 536). His scholarly work forms the initial stage
of
the Syriac reception of Alexandrian philosophical, scientific, and medical literature. Sergius’
translation style had some influence on later Syriac scholars who were familiar with his works.
Sergius and Syriac philosophical tradition
Sergius studied medicine and philosophy in Alexandria at the end of the 5th century. He studied
philosophy under the famous Ammonius Hermeiou. Later on, Sergius returned to Syria and started to
translate Greek medical, philosophical and scientific treatises into the Syriac language. His
writings, both his original compositions and translations from the Greek, had a significant impact
on the entire Syriac philosophical tradition, on the translation style, and on the philosophical
terminology up to the early Islamic period. Sergius turns out to be a connecting point between the
Greek philosophical tradition and the Oriental reception of the Alexandrian philosophy in the
sixth–ninth centuries in Syriac Christianity and later in the Arab world, i.e. to the process, which
Max Mayerhof labelled as going “from Alexandria to Baghdad”.
Project objectives
The present project aims at a systematic analysis of Sergius’s literary heritage and has three
objectives. It aims to
- assess Sergius’ role in shaping Syriac philosophical and scientific terminology,
- produce a dictionary of technical terms based on Sergius’ writings and
- prepare a critical edition of Sergius’ Commentary on Aristotle’s Categories that was written in
Syriac and based on the lectures of his teacher Ammonius.
The project will, thus, result not only in
the publication of an important source for the
intellectual history of late ancient Alexandria, but also create a basis for future research in the
history of philosophy that crosses cultural and language borders.

Here you can search the corpus of Syriac philosophical, scientific and medical literature that combines the texts prepared under the auspices of this project with those collected in Simtho.
Use the input field below for simple search. The default search looks for a specific wordform (the option word) exactly as written, but ignores any vowels or diacritic (seyame, feminine dot etc.). This means that if you enter ܚܕܕܐ, the search engine will retrieve wordforms like ܚܕܕܐ̣̈ as well.
If you select the option lemma, the search engine will look for the base form/headword (say, ܟܬܒ) and retrieve all its morphological forms (in this case, ܟܬܝܒ, ܘܟܬܒ or ܟܬܒܢ and others).
The information on the text is displayed in the table below the search results.
