Ishaq’s treatises were translated into Greek and strongly influenced Greek and Slavic Orthodox teaching since the 9th c. Translation is paralleled by the original text from Bedjan’s edition (1909) with minor emendations. The text is prefaced with a study of the biography of Ishaq, Syriac manuscript tradition and of all known translations (Greek, Arabic, Ethiopic, Georgian etc.). A survey of Ishaq’s psychology and mystical teaching and of some problems of understanding Ishaq’s thought are given as well.
