Contained in this work are thirteen lists of saints’ days in the Syriac tradition. The oldest was based on a translation from the Greek of a list of martyrs, arranged by month and day of death, written somewhere in the East. The Syriac translators have added to this; for example, they have also added a chronological list of the martyrs of the East condemned by the Persians. The other twelve are all Syrian Orthodox lists, which will be of value to anyone interested in the history of the veneration of Syriac saints and its social implications. A useful source on the expansion of Eastern Christianity, the lists are classified by origin and by starting date.

Historiography and Hierotopy

Judean hagiographies are unusual. Some are unexpectedly structured: a saint’s life in the form of a history text. Others offer surprising content. Expected hagiographic stylizations, for example, often depict moments in which the saint is offered money for a miracle. In such cases the saint invariably refuses. Judean saints, however, accept gratitude willingly – often with cash amounts recorded. The peculiarities of these works have regularly been examined on literary and theological grounds. The monasteries that produced these texts were utterly dominated by the environment of Christian Jerusalem. Although often commented upon, the unmined implications of this reality hold the key to understanding these hagiographies. It is only by examining these monasteries’ ties to – and embeddedness within – their peculiar context that we can perceive the mindset that produced such baffling texts.

The Chronicle of Michael the Great (The Edessa-Aleppo Syriac Codex)

Michael the Great was elected patriarch of the Syriac Orthodox church in a most instable period. He nevertheless, found time, clarity of mind, and determination to write a voluminous world chronicle, which he completed four years before he died in November 7, 1199. The present edition and its translation begin with Book XV and end with Book XXI, the last Book in the Chronicle, thereby covering more than 160 years, from AD 1031 to AD 1195.
