From the chronicle of Dionysius Tell-Mahre to that of Michael the Great, there are several important historical chronicles in the Syriac tradition. The present work includes the text of one of these important historical chronicles: an account of both secular and ecclesiastical history generally known in the Western world as the "Chronicle of 1234." This work is anonymous, though it was likely produced in Edessa. This historical work is important in its own right as a first hand account of the twelfth and thirteenth century crusades and because it relies on other historical works which have not survived. The text was first edited and published by J.B. Chabot in the early twentieth century. The present volume presents the Syriac text in a vocalized Serto script, and it includes a table of contents and an introduction by Julius Yeshu Çiçek.
