Kugener here gives an edition of the Syriac text, along with a thoroughly annotated French translation, of this unique astronomical and meteorological treatise attributed to Dionysius the Areopagite and later used in the 13th cent. by Jacob bar Shakko.

The “Autobiography” of Dionysius the (Pseudo-)Aereopagite exists in two separate recensions found in three manuscripts. Marc-Antoine Kugener publishes here the Syriac text of the two recensions along with an introduction and a German translation.
