Wikipedia extract
Extract is from the broader Wikipedia page "Hymns on Paradise", not about this record specifically
The Hymns on Paradise are a collection of fifteen Syriac hymns (madrashe) attributed to Ephrem the Syrian. The work is a poetic and theological meditation on the biblical paradise narrative of Genesis 2–3, the fall of Adam and Eve, the Tree of life, the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the redemption of humanity through Christ, and the eschatological Paradise expected after the resurrection.
