As shown in recent studies, East Syriac colophons were rather standardised, at least in the Ottoman period, and they incorporated into the main colophon body not only prose passages, but also poetic ones. The current article discusses one such passage that occurs in both prose and poetic forms in various manuscripts, namely the topos of ‘the five twins that pulled a yoke from the forest through the white field’. It provides a fascinating example of the trope’s transmission over the centuries, as well as the poetic creativity of East Syriac scribes as manifested in the Ottoman period.

通过白色领域拉轭：抄写修辞的东叙利亚诗意释义

正如最近的研究表明，东叙利亚文字版权相当标准化，至少在奥斯曼时期是这样，它们不仅将散文段落纳入版权正文，还纳入了诗歌段落。目前的文章讨论了在各种手稿中以散文和诗歌形式出现的一个这样的段落，即“从森林中拉过轭穿过白色田野的五对双胞胎”的主题。它提供了一个迷人的例子，说明了这个比喻几个世纪以来的传播，以及在奥斯曼帝国时期表现出来的东叙利亚文士的诗意创造力。
