Born in Qatar in the early seventh century AD, Isaac of
Niniveh (also known as Isaac the Syrian) was the author of a number of very fine
writings on the spiritual life which have proved very influential, especially in
monastic circles, over the centuries. The first part of his writings was
translated into Greek in the ninth century at the monastery of St Saba in
Palestine, and thence it found its way into many other languages (including in
the twentieth century, Japanese).

In 1983 a complete manuscript of the second part, hitherto only partially known,
was discovered in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and chapters IV-XLI of these new
texts are edited and translated here for the first time. The remaining chapters
I-III, which include four sets of Kephalaia on spiritual knowledge, will be
published subsequently in CSCO by P. Bettiolo.
