This biography of Severus, the patriarch of Antioch from 512-518
CE, attributed to his schoolmate Zachariah of Mytilene, gives
unique information about life in Mediterranean region in the second
half of the 5th century. These two young men from wealthy families
became involved with a Christian movement, the "philoponoi," "those
devoted to work" who combined asceticism with theological study.
The work, originally in Greek, survives only in Syriac, which this
volume presents alongside the first English translation of it. It
is an important source for studies on Ancient Biography, Late
Antiquity, and Early Christianity.
