Abstract
Abstract The great polymath Gregory Bar ʿEbroyo (d. 1286), known as Barhebraeus, composed two historiographical works: the “Chronicle” (Maktbānut zabnē) in Syriac and the “Summa on Dynasties” (Muḫtaṣar fī l-duwal) in Arabic. Though he likely worked on them at the same time, the differences in language, structure, and choice of themes, show that different goals lay behind the two works. Through an examination of recent studies and a comparison of some passages of the two texts, this paper introduces a tentative reassessment of the issue and offers suggestive indications on Bar ʿEbroyo’s personal vision of history in the context of early Mongol (Ilkhanid) rule.
