metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The fragment of the Syriac translation of Aristotle’s Poetics preserved by Jacob (Severus) Bar
  Shakko (d. 1241) comprises Poet. VI 1449b24–1450a10. In spite of its small size, it serves as an
  important witness both to the Greek text of the Poetics, and to the reception of this work in the
  Christian Orient and, later on, in the Muslim world. The fragment derives from a translation,
  which most likely appeared in West Syriac circles in the 7th/8th centuries AD and later served
  as the basis for the Arabic translation of the Poetics made by Abū Bishr Mattā ibn Yūnus in
  the 10th century. The present article includes a new edition of the Syriac text preserved by Bar
  Shakko, which is based on the collation of six manuscripts and is accompanied by an English
  translation. The article also provides a detailed analysis of the Syriac fragment as compared to
  the transmitted Greek text of the Poetics, on the one hand, and to the Arabic translation of it by
  Abū Bishr, on the other. This comparison allows an assumption that the Syriac version is most
  likely based on a Greek manuscript, which may have contained glosses and scholia. A Greek
  and Syriac glossary is attached at the end of the article.
