I Carmi siriaco ed ebraico di Francesco Donati in onore di P. Mario da Calascio

This article presents the Italian translation of two songs (carmina) composed in Syriac and in Hebrew by the Dominican Father Francesco Donati in honor of his Franciscan friend Father Mario from Calascio. These texts may be found in their original language in the first pages of Father Mario’s Biblical Concordance (cf. Liber Annuus 55, 217ss). The Syriac text has not yet been published, but has been translated into Italian by I.C. Mansourati and into Latin by R. Köbert. Both of these translations are published here along with the Italian translation that was based on Köbert’s Latin version. The Hebrew song is translated for the first time.
