Summary/Abstract: This text reviews the bilingual Greek-Romanian edition of Saint Isaac the Syrian's "Ascetical Homilies" (Volume 1), translated and annotated by Hieromonk Agapie Corbu, based on Marcel Pirard's critical Greek edition and original Syriac manuscripts. The reviewer highlights the translation's exceptional philological and theological accuracy, preserving the profound nuances of the saint's Semitic thought through linguistic parity. The volume features an extensive critical apparatus, detailed explanatory notes, and a comprehensive introductory study exploring the history of the Syro-Oriental Church and Isaac's terminology. Ultimately, this edition is praised as a monumental contribution to Romanian theological and spiritual literature.
