Prologue

ܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܕܬܕܡܘܪܬܐ ܐܡܪܝܢܢ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܩܪܐ ܠܐܝܢܐ ܕܗܟܢ ܗܘ̣. ܘܠܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܢܫܡܗܝܘܗܝ ܠܗܘܿ ܕܒܗܠܝܢ ܪ̈ܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܫܛ. 1
Nous allons dire l’histoire d’un homme admirable, s’il faut appeler homme quelqu’un comme lui et non plutôt nommer ange celui qui a méprisé toutes les voluptés du monde. 1

Incipit (Opening Line)

ܐܒܗ̈ܘܗܝ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܪܗܘܡܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ. ܡܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܫܪܝܘ ܘܠܝܬܐ ܦܩܕܐ. ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܥܘܬܪܐ ܘܒܫܘܡܗܐ ܕܓܢܣܐ ܘܕܚܐܪܘܬܐ. 1
Ses parents étaient de la ville de Rome — la convenance ordonne de commencer par là — ils vivaient dans la richesse et la célébrité de leur famille et de leur noblesse. 1

Explicit (Closing Line)

ܘܫܘܕܥܗ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܕܘܒܪܗ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܪܒܘܬܐ. ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܡܘܟܟܐ. ܘܡܕܡ ܡܢܗ ܠܐ ܟܣܝ. 1
Et il lui avait fait connaître toute sa première vie de grandeur et l’autre d’humilité et il ne lui avait rien caché. 1
