metadata.value: The paper discusses Syriac verse texts from the Ottoman period which are connected with
  the history of the Chaldean (East Syriac Uniate) Church. They were composed by ‘Adbīšō‘ of
  Gazarta, the second patriarch of the new Church (1555–1570), an outstanding literate, whose
  legacy has been significantly neglected by researchers. The pieces discussed in the present paper
  typify their very early samples epitomizing the beginning of this literary tradition that was
  connected with the name of ‘Adbīšō‘ of Gazarta. They were devoted to the Popes of Rome, with
  whom the young Chaldean Church had intensive contacts and whose supremacy it was in the
  process of acknowledging. Until recently, scholars have lacked access to most of the numerous
  textual corpora of this Church; as a result, research on these manuscripts had been confined
  to their catalogue descriptions, printed in the early–20th century. Although they have never
  been an object of detailed study so far, the short pieces discussed here, composed on various
  occasions, contain important evidence for both the history of Syriac literature and the history
  of the Christian Churches in this region. The names mentioned in the poems can be easily
  identified, which would serve to date the texts to certain periods of ‘Adbīšō‘’s Church career.
  The present paper is the first attempt of a detailed study and a critical edition of his poems
  dedicated to the Roman Catholic Popes.
