See also:JOSHUA THE STYLITE , the reputed author of a See also:chronicle which narrates the See also:history of the See also:war between the Greeks and Persians in 502-506, and which is one of the earliest and best See also:historical documents preserved to us in See also:Syriac. The See also:work owes its preservation to having been incorporated in the third See also:part of the history of pseudo-See also:Dionysius of Tell-Mahre, and may probably have had a See also:place in the second part of the Ecclesiastical History of See also:John of See also:Asia, from whom (as Nau has shown) pseudo-Dionysius copied all or most of the See also:matter contained in his third part. The chronicle in question is See also:anonymous, and Nau has shown that the See also:note of a copyist, which was thought to assign it to the See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

monk Joshua of Zuknin near Amid, more probably refers to the compiler of the whole work in which it was incorporated. Anyhow the author was an eyewitness of many of the events which he describes, and must have been living at See also:Edessa during the years when it suffered so severely from the See also:Persian War. His view of events is everywhere characterized by his belief in overruling See also:Providence; and as he eulogizes See also:Flavian II., the Chalcedonian See also:patriarch of See also:Antioch, in warmer terms than those in which he praises his See also:great Monophysite contemporaries, See also:Jacob of Serugh and See also:Philoxenus of Mabbog, he was probably an orthodox See also:Catholic.
The chronicle was first made known by See also:Assemani's abridged Latin version (B. 0. i. 260-283) and was edited in 1876 by the See also:abbe See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)

The work was probably written a few years after the conclusion of the war. The See also:style is graphic and straightforward, and the author was evidently a See also:man of See also:good See also:education and of a See also:simple, honest mind. (N.
