First published in 1954, the manuscript of this book of hours was bought in Cairo in 1906 for the Berlin State Library from a Syrian dealer. It may have come from the library of the Convent of St Catherine from Mount Sinai. It is a complete Malkite Horologion: a translation for the most part of a Horologion of the Greek Orthodox Church into Palestinian Syriac, the dialect of Amaric employed in their scriptures and services by the Malkites, a Syrian sect of the Orthodox Church. It is rich in Psalm texts, most of which are new to the Palestinian Syricac Bible. Internal evidence points to Palestine and perhaps to Jerusalem as the ultimate provenance of the text.

In troubled societies narratives about the past tend to be partial and explain a conflict from narrow perspectives that justify the national self and condemn, exclude and devalue the 'enemy' and their narrative. Through a detailed analysis, Teaching Contested Narratives reveals the works of identity, historical narratives and memory as these are enacted in classroom dialogues, canonical texts and school ceremonies. Presenting ethnographic data from local contexts in Cyprus and Israel, and demonstrating the relevance to educational settings in countries which suffer from conflicts all over the world, the authors explore the challenges of teaching narratives about the past in such societies, discuss how historical trauma and suffering are dealt with in the context of teaching, and highlight the potential of pedagogical interventions for reconciliation. The book shows how the notions of identity, memory and reconciliation can perpetuate or challenge attachments to essentialized ideas abou
