History Early Works To 1800 Syrian Orthodox Church

Arabic version of part of the chronicle of Mar Gavriyel Monastery, also known as Qarṭmīn Monastery, in Ṭur ʻAbdin, Turkey. The chronicle is known in Syriac as Makhlanuta de-zavne Suryaita. It was published as Chronica Minora I-III in Corpus Scriptorum Christianorum Orientalium. Scriptores Syri, t. 5. It is also known as the Qarṭmīn Trilogy. The editor ascribes the work to Manṣūr ibn Marzūq al-Bāsbirīnī, a 9th century abbott of the monastery, although most scholars give it an anonymous attribution.
