The developing tradition that lies behind each one is stressed, going back ultimately to classical models. Their achievement was to have combined Eusebius’ model of ecclesiastical history with that of the annalistic chronicle, although the precise reconstruction of their systems from extant mss is not a straightforward task. None of the three is overpowered by a theological agenda, and Barhebraeus in particular is seen in the context of the Arabic ‘adab’ literature of the cultured elite.
