Logoi kai paraineseis tou hosiou patros hēmōn Ephraim tou Syrou is a rare, 1720 Greek devotional of discourses and exhortations from Saint Ephraim. Also known as Ephrem the Syrian, Ephraim was a post-Byzantine Christian theologian who is remembered for his poems, hymns, and devotionals used in Eastern Orthodox Church. This work, loosely translated to Discourses and Exhortations, covers a wide variety of devotional topics including homilies on guarding the soul, perseverance in hardship, and the discipline of spiritual struggle. The book also includes hagiographical material, with accounts of saints such as Saint Mamas and Saint Stephen the Protomartyr.

Examples of Greek Orthodox devotional works from Venice in the early eighteenth century remain sought after by collectors of Eastern Christian theology, Hellenic printing history, and patristic literature in post-Byzantine Greek.
