Overview""The History of Holy Mar Maaein of Sinjar"" tells the story of a Sasanian general during the time of Shapur II (309-79) who suffered persecution after his conversion to Christianity. Composed probably in the sixth century, this text is of a higher literary quality than most of the other texts describing martyrdoms under Shapur II. In this volume, the first in this new series from Gorgias Press, Sebastian P. Brock provides the first edition ever of the ""Syriac text of the History of Maaein"" as well as the first full translation of it. This volume also includes a basic guide to the whole corpus of ""Persian Martyr Acts"" as well as useful indices to these numerous texts.
