An investigation of the historical contexts of this translation project suggests that the project first started as a reaction to the simultaneous promotion of Syriac Cyrillianism by bishop Rabbula of Edessa. It also points out the close connection between the translation project’s emergence on the one hand and the (theological only, at first) Syriac Cyrillians-Theodorans divide as well as the later schism between Miaphysites and Nestorians on the other.
