In this volume, Hilgenfeld presents a critical edition of nine poems by Gewargis Warda (13th cent.), mostly on contemporary events. The poems are also translated into German with annotations and an introduction.

This volume compiles various ancient lives including that of Simeon Stylites. This is both a standard piece of source-criticism and a sourcebook for all modern students of Symeon.

This important reference work contains the lists of those bishops that attended the Council of Nicaea according to manuscripts preserved in Latin, Greek, Coptic, Syriac, Arabic, and Armenian. The non-Latin and Greek lists are translated, and indexes are included.
