The extent of the letter, including a profession of faith and a detailed report of many ceremonies and usages, and the fact that it was redacted at a time when the process of latinization had not yet taken hold, give it a remarkable value as a witness to the genuine Maronite tradition. This article presents a French translation from the Latin version, the letter's sole surviving witness that has appeared in various editions, the last being that of the Maronite scholar Tobia Anaissi in 1921. A short commentary follows on the Trinitarian and Christological profession of faith included in the letter, and on the usage of the patriarchal name Peter. The author's object is to make this interesting document accessible also to those who do not know Latin, and to invite other students interested in the Maronite Church to take note of it.
