The Book of the Bee by Solomon, Bishop of Basra
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
“The Book of Gleanings Called the Bee” was written in the first half of the 13th century by Mar Shlimon, Metropolitan of Prath Maishan (Basra) of the Assyrian Church of the East. The poetic title of the book originates in the idea that a bee goes from flower to flower collecting precious nectar from each. Likewise, our author has assembled into one book a great variety of information gleaned from many books including the Bible as well as apocryphal works. The book serves as a kind of religious and philosophical history of the world from creation to the coming of the Antichrist and the afterlife. This volume contains the Syriac text edited from four manuscripts and an English translation.
