Yahya of Antioch
Yahya of Antioch, full name Yaḥya ibn Saʿīd al-Anṭākī (
He was most likely born in
His chief work is a continuation of Eutychius' Annals, stretching from 938 to 1034.[4] Drawing on a variety of sources, his history deals with events in the Byzantine Empire,[5] Egypt, as well as Bulgaria and the Kievan Rus'. Whilst in Antioch, he also wrote theological works in defence of Christianity and refutations of Islam and Judaism. He died c. 1066.[3]
His history was published, edited and translated in 1924 by I. Kratchkovsky and A. Vasiliev into French in Volumes 18, 23, and 47 of the Patrologia Orientalis. In 1997 it was translated into Italian by Bartolomeo Pirone.[6] A supposed English translation by J. H. Forsyth in 1977 is in fact only a study.[7]
