Chronicle of Zuqnin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chronicle of Zuqnin is a Christian world chronicle written in Syrian , which was probably written in 775/76 in the Zuqnin Monastery near Amida ( Diyarbakır ). For a time it was considered the work of the Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Dionysius of Tell Mahre of Antioch (officiated 818-845), which is why the naming of the author as pseudo-Dionysius of Tell Mahre (see there for more detailed information) explains.
