Georges Warda
Giwargis Warda (Giwargis being the equivalent of "George" and warda meaning "rose") was a Syriac poet of the Church of the East who probably lived in the 13th century. He is named in several manuscripts as the author (or perhaps compiler) of The Book of the Rose (Kṯāḇā d-Wardā), an anthology of Syriac hymns for various liturgical festivals. Not all of the poems contained in this anthology are authored by him, but establishing the authenticity of the poems is difficult given the high degree of variation between manuscripts.
