Clement of Alexandria (AD 150-215) is one of the most brilliant thinkers of the early Christian centuries. His teaching, steeped as much in the Bible as in Greek thought, reveals to us the nature of the debates in the early days of the expansion of Christianity. This book deals with a subject little studied to this day, namely his thoughts on the Church. Yet it is a recurring subject in his works, where he reflects at length on the Church from the point of view of the being and the mission of the divine Logos. Analysis of Clement’s discourse on the Church therefore makes it possible to revisit the main intuitions of his Christology while shedding light on his perception of Christian identity at a time when it is still under construction.

Abstract
The present paper discusses various kinds of poetry represented in scribal paratextual parts of East Syriac manuscripts, such as introductions and colophons. In the current article, we have attempted to develop a general typology of this kind of verse pieces and to discuss the details of their transmission in diachronic scope, starting with the Mongol period and focusing on the Ottoman time, when this type of texts obtained a large popularity.
