Overview
The Syriac Chronicle is a fascinating examination of Syria’s relation to the biblical accounts and to the post-apostolic Christian church. Author Zachariah of Mitylene relates the time’s prominent events through his own interpretive glosses, while drawing on other well-known works, such as Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History, to complete his narrative. Modern readers will find the unique—not critical—historiography of this text challenging, yet it will also present a unique opportunity for expanding how the twenty-first-century mind thinks about history.
