The Influence of the Syriac Literature on the Old Oriental Slavonic Literatures

Abstract

Arising from the range of influence of the Byzantine Empire, Syriac literature and the literature of eastern Slavs have a lot more in common than might be initially imagined. The influence of the works of both Saint ephrem the Syrian and Saint Isaac the Syrian on medieval Russian writers was especially important.
