Jacob of Serugh (died 521) is best known for his many imaginative verse homilies on biblical and other topics. A small number of stanzaic poems attributed to him also survive in old manuscripts, but these have hitherto been largely forgotten, apart from a few odd stanzas here and there which have been preserved in certain liturgical texts. A collection of twenty-five of these poems is presented here for the first time in their full form.
