English summary: These volumes present letters 30-39 of the Syriac/Nestorian Patriarch Timotheus, which are edited here for the first time on the basis of a broad examination of manuscript sources, and offers the first translations of Timotheus’ letters into a modern language. Within the lengthy letters 34 to 36, Timotheus outlines a unique method of interpreting the scriptures within the context of the Christian conflict with Islam. The interpretation of the title “servant” for Christ plays a central role in his thought. Jesus’s role as the “suffering-servant” in Deutero-Isaiah had already gained currency in early Christian thought, but within the context of the political ascent of Islam this title was problematic because Muslims argued that Jesus was only a prophet and not the savior. Letters 30 to 33 and 37 offer insights into the earliest history concerning the transmission of letters 34 to 36. In letters 38 and 39, Timothy poses the question about how one should properly understand the texts of Gregory of Nanzianzus, which were used in the acts of the Council of Ephesus to condemn Nestorius. German description: Die vorliegenden Bande veroffentlichen die Briefe 30-39 des ostsyrischen Patriarchen Timotheos erstmals auf breiter Handschriftenbasis und mit einer sbersetzung in einer modernen Sprache. In den langen Briefen 34-36 entwirft Timotheos eine eigentliche Bibelhermeneutik in Auseinandersetzung mit dem Islam. Zentral dabei ist die Interpretation des Titels Diener fur Christus. Er war schon im fruhen Christentum in Auslegung der Gottesknechtslieder bei Deuterojesaja gebrauchlich, wurde nun aber in der Diskussion mit dem Islam problematisch, denn er schien auszusagen, dass Jesus nur ein Prophet sei. Die Briefe 30-33 und 37 geben Einblick in die fruheste sberlieferungsgeschichte der Briefe 34-36. In den Briefen 38 und 39 stellt sich Timotheos der Frage, wie Texte von Gregor von Nazianz zu verstehen sind, welche in den Konzilsakten von Ephesos zur Verurteilung des Nestorius verwendet werden.
