The present volume contains an annotated Latin translation of the collection of saints’ lives and fragments of the Ecclesiastical History of John of Ephesus, prefaced by a lengthly list of emendations to the Syriac text.
J. P. N. Land provides here an introduction to John of Edessa, an early leader of the non-Chalcedonian, miaphysite Christian tradition and the first church historian of the Syriac tradition.
