The aim of this work is to offer a study of both structure and contents of chosen section, a critical edition of the Syriac text and an English commented translation. The study develops through three main levels and three corresponding parts. In the first part, a short methodological outline introduces to: a thorough codicological description of the three oldest and most important witnesses of the work; a survey on the most noteworthy studies about this section; a tentative reconstruction of stemmatic relationship between the three manuscripts (by means of examination of both information provided by colophons and relevant textual variants); a description of the main features, insofar as formal structure and contents are concerned. In the second part, translation is integrated with footnotes on related Syriac works, on comparison with same passages in other ancient biblical versions, and on references to further sources Barhebraeus resorted to. Finally, the third part offers a critical text (volume II) preceded by some remarks on ecdotical issues and by a list of quotations and references (volume I).
