SEERT, CRONACA DI

Also known as: French: Chronique de Séert

SEERT, Chronicle of. - This is the name given by its editor A. Scher to an ancient chronicle written by a Nestorian in Arabic, probably in the first half of the 13th century. It is contained in a single manuscript that appears to be the original, of which some leaves are in Mosul, in the library of the Chaldean patriarchate, while others are in S. The chronicle is not always objective and contains some legends, such as that of Pope Sylvester. It is, however, of notable interest with regard to Nestorian history. Precious, for example, is the information it provides concerning the Christians deported from Antioch to Persia by Shapur I.
