Towards a Critical Edition of the Book Al-Jāmiʿ Wujūh al-Īmān (Summa Theologiae Arabica)

As part of our research into how the Gospels and Psalms were received in the Melkite milieu, which resulted in the version published by Athanasius Dabbas in Aleppo between 1706 and 1708, we previously identified a collection of homilies written by Ibn al-Sirri in the second half of the ninth century that frequently cite both the Gospels and the Psalms (Ibrahim, 2023). We are currently preparing a critical edition of this 25,000-word collection, which will be published in the Patrimoine Arabe Chrétien series. We have also identified an 11th-century Antiochian Arabic version preserved in Sin. Ar. 76, which contains the same text as the lemmas preserved in the 'Commentaries on the Gospels of Matthew and John' by John Chrysostom, translated by Anthony. This version may be that of either Anthony or Abdallah Ibn al-Fadl (Ibrahim, 2026). Here, we present our work on “Al-Jāmiʿ wujūh al-īmān bi-tathlīth waḥdaniyyat Allāh wa-taʾannus Allāh al-kalima min al-tāhira al-ʿadhrāʾ Maryam” (The Compilation of the aspects of the faith in the Tri-unity of God and the Incarnation of God the Word from the pure one, the Virgin Mary), also known as Summa theologiae arabica (Griffith, 1986). This also answers many scholars highlighting an edition of this work as a 'desideratum' (Gibson et al., 2018: 61).作为我们研究福音书（Gospels）与诗篇（Psalms）在麦勒卡语境（Melkite milieu）中接受情况的一部分——该研究产出了阿塔纳修斯·达巴斯（Athanasius Dabbas）于1706至1708年间在阿勒颇（Aleppo）刊行的译本——我们此前曾识别出伊本·西里（Ibn al-Sirri）于9世纪下半叶撰写的一部布道文集，该文集频繁引述福音书与诗篇（Ibrahim, 2023）。我们目前正为这部两万五千词的文集编撰批判性校勘本，该校勘本将收录于《阿拉伯基督教遗产》（Patrimoine Arabe Chrétien）系列丛书中。我们还识别出一份藏于西奈阿拉伯语76号抄本（Sin. Ar. 76）中的11世纪安条克阿拉伯语译本，该译本与安东尼（Anthony）所译金口约翰（John Chrysostom）《马太福音与约翰福音注释》（Commentaries on the Gospels of Matthew and John）中留存的引文片段（lemmas）文本完全一致。该译本的译者可能为安东尼或阿卜杜拉·伊本·法德尔（Abdallah Ibn al-Fadl）(Ibrahim, 2026)。在此，我们展示针对阿拉伯语原标题*Al-Jāmiʿ wujūh al-īmān bi-tathlīth waḥdaniyyat Allāh wa-taʾannus Allāh al-kalima min al-tāhira al-ʿadhrāʾ Maryam*的研究成果，其英文释义为《论上帝三位一体独一性之信仰面向，以及来自纯净童贞女马利亚之上帝道成肉身的汇编》，该著作亦被称为《阿拉伯语神学大全》（Summa theologiae arabica）(Griffith, 1986)。此举亦回应了诸多学者将该著作的校勘本标注为"亟需刊行的成果（desideratum）"的呼声(Gibson et al., 2018: 61)。
