Project description

The aim of the present project is to revise both the critical text of the Continuations with apparatus and the translation eventually preparing a philological introduction. Priority is given to the Continuations due to the more advanced state of the work. The second objective is to prepare a critical edition of the Chronography drawn on the collation of the Syriac text accompanied by English translation and a historical and philological introduction.
The results of the complete collation have given awareness of the amount of this enterprise: still, the goal can be achieved in further 24 months.
