This chapter focuses on hymns designed to accompany the burial of wives and mothers, identified variously as “In funere mulierum” (“On women’s burial,” madrāshâ 32) and “In funere matrisfamilias” (“On the burial of a female householder,” madrāshâ 31). Their collection is part of the necrosima’s “family section,” a segment of the collection addressing the burial of married men, women, children, and youths. As such, they provide insight into the construction of feminine identity in Syriac Christian communities at the intersection of social strictures and biblical models. The chapter also reflects an initial foray into the question of the hymns’ function in their original setting as part of funerary processions, including their performance by women’s choirs who voiced both the part of the deceased and that of her community. In these contexts, the hymns could serve as pedagogical performances, remapping the Syrian city with an eye towards both protological and eschatological realities.
