Rich olfactory practices developed as par…

War, bubonic plague, famine, collective hysteria, and religious persecution were a part of daily life and the background against which a…

The fifteen hagiographies about holy women of the Syrian Orient collected here include stories of martyrs' passions and saints' lives, pious romances and personal reminiscences. Dating from the fourth to seventh centuries A.D., they are translated from Syriac into accessible and vivid prose.
