What it is
Metrical homilies from the school of Nisibis on creation, the incarnation, baptism, and the eucharist, in the Antiochene christological tradition.
Why it lasted
The principal theologian of the Church of the East, and the reason its liturgy and doctrine took the shape they still have.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
