It displays the traditionnal clerical art of defamation against the Christians who converted to Islam. The text seems to be a testimony to the expansion toward East and South of Syriac Christianity, which started in the 5th Century through monk’s predication. Monastic ascetism is a sign of the transcendental nature of Christianity according to Theodore Abū Qurra. However, it may have been precisely the reason why some ambitious Christians rejected Christianity, as they were attracted by the hope for social promotion and easier life in Islam. A French translation of the Arabic text is given at the end of the paper.
