Line 1: {{italic title}} The '''''Book of Steps''''' ({{~~lang-~~langx\|syr\|ܟܬܒܐ ܕܡܣ̈ܩܬܐ}}, ''Kṯāḇâ ḏ-Masqāṯâ''; also known by the [[Latin]] name ''Liber Graduum'') is an [[anonymity\|anonymous]] [[Syriac language\|Syriac]] [[treatise]] on [[spiritual direction]], probably written in the late fourth century AD (or possibly early fifth century). The author appears to be living in the [[~~Persia\|Persian~~Sasanian Empire]], perhaps somewhere near the [[Lesser Zab]], as it is mentioned in Memra Thirty, and addresses the author's own [[Christian Church\|Christian community]]. == Summary == Line 19: # On the advantage we have when we endure evil while performing good; and on fasting and humiliation of body and soul. # On hearing the Scriptures, and when the Law is read before us. # On the ministry of the hidden and the revealed church (English trans. in {{cite book\|last=Murray\|title=Symbols}} and {{cite book\|last=Brock\|title=Syriac Fathers\|year=1988 \|url=https://archive.org/details/teachingofsyrian0000seba}}). # On the way of life of the upright. # On the upright and the perfect.
