Details
Moses of Mardin (d. 1592) (Classical Syriac: ܡܘܫܐ ܕܡܪܕܝܢ, Mūşe d'Mārdīn), also Moses al-Ṣawri, was a Syriac Orthodox cleric, scribe, teacher, and emissary. He is best known for his role in bringing Syriac Christian literature to the attention of European scholars, and producing the first printed edition of the Syriac New Testament (Peshitta) in Europe. During his travels across Europe, Moses taught Syriac, translated and copied numerous religious and philosophical texts, and engaged with prominent humanists and orientalists such as Johann Albrecht Widmanstetter, Andreas Masius and Guillaume Postel. His manuscripts and printed works laid the foundation for the study of Syriac literature in Europe and preserved key historical and liturgical texts of the Syriac Orthodox tradition.
