Denha - ܕܢܚܐ
http://syriaca.org/person/444
The author of a
commentary on the Psalms and other works. Possibly a disciple of Ishoʿ bar Nun.
Names
Floruit
9th cent.?
Notes
Assemani puts
this Denha in the 8th century, but he must have rather been active in the
9th century if he is the person meant by John bar Zoʿbi, who (in a
British Library manuscript catalogued by Wright) identified the Denha who
authored a commentary on Aristotle's Analytics as a disciple of the
Church of the East catholicos Ishoʿ bar Nun. Barsoum's identification of this Denha with
an apparently West Syriac Denha who wrote a certain treatise against heretics is to be
questioned.3, 4, 5, 6, 7
