Jacob of Sarug’s Homily on the Veil on Moses’ Face: Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug
Sebastian Brock,Of Serug Jacob,Sebastian Brock (Oxford University Wolfson College, Oxford Wolfson College, Oxford)
This edition of Mar Jacob of Sarug’s (d. 521) homily on the Veil of Moses asks what the veil means. Jacob finds the hermeneutical key in Paul’s exegesis of Gen. 2:24 - that the man and the woman becoming one symbolizes Christ and the Church. The bride must wear a veil until such time as her bridegroom comes to remove it at their marriage ceremony. The volume constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text of Jacob’s surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an annotated English translation.
