The Epistles of S. Clement to the Corinthians in Syriac is a book written by Robert Lubbock Bensly and published in 1899. The book contains the letters of Saint Clement, a first-century Christian bishop and one of the earliest Church Fathers, to the Corinthian church. These letters were originally written in Greek and translated into Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, in the early centuries of Christianity. Bensly's edition of the letters is based on a manuscript from the British Museum, which he collated with other manuscripts to produce a critical text. The book includes a preface by Bensly, in which he discusses the history and significance of the letters, as well as notes on the Syriac text and its variants. The letters themselves address a range of issues facing the Corinthian church, including disputes among its members, the role of bishops and deacons, and the importance of love and unity in the Christian community. They also provide insights into the early history of Christianity and the practices and beliefs of the early Church. Overall, The Epistles of S. Clement to the Corinthians in Syriac is a valuable resource for scholars of early Christianity and anyone interested in the history of the Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
