Title A name given to the resource Deir Mar Musa al-Habashi Description An account of the resource <p>Deir Mar Musa al-Habashi, or the monastery of St. Moses the Ethiopian or St. Moses the Abyssinian, is located approximately 18km east of Nabk in central Syria. The monastery is first mentioned in a manuscript in the British Library in 558/9 and appears to have had a scriptorium at this early date. It was a Lavra with the monks living in caves in the mountains and gathering in the central monastery to worship together. The chapel has the only complete fresco cycle still extant in the Levant and it appears that this was repainted at least three times between 1058 and 1208/09.</p> <p>The monastery was abandoned in the C19th, but refounded by Fr. Paolo Dall'Oglio, an Italian Jesuit, in 1982 and is now a dual house for male and female monastics. The spelling 'Deir' is used for monastery rather than the more usual English transliteration of 'Dayr' as this is how the modern Community spell the word.</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emma Loosley Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Emma Loosley Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Metadata and all media released under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA International licence unless otherwise indicated Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
