Chronicon Anonymum Ad Annum 1234 Sources Open this page in a new tab

e-GEDESH notes that Chronicon Anonymum Ad Annum 1234 is based on the Eusebian model, but follows the later Syriac tradition in using many large narrative entries, sometimes even preserving the chapter structure of the sources. e-GEDESH adds however that the author of Chron. 1234 sometimes edits these sources. Although Chron. 1234 shares many sources with Michael the Syrian, the selection of material seems to have been made independently. e-GEDESH lists Chron. 1234's likely sources as follows:
Brock(1976) suggests that the lost chronicle of Dionysius of Teilmahre appears to be one of the compiler's main sources for this period [7th century CE]. Hoyland, 1997:416-419 notes that Dionysius of Tell-Mahre cited Theophilus of Edessa as a source.
