This book is an inquiry into the mystical thought of Gregory
Barhebraeus (1226-1286CE) and its contemporary relevance, to offer
a reading of Barhebraeus' mystical texts by bringing them into
conversation with critical religious studies and the hermeneutical
tradition of philosophy. The methodological focus of my thesis has
led me to pay particular attention to the language used for the
study of mysticism, and I lay emphasis on finding a new language
that avoids the phenomenological assumptions concerning 'mysticism'
to attend to the particularity of 'mystic' traditions, such as that
of the Syriac mystic tradition inherited by Barhebraeus.
