This collection has been preserved within the corpus of the mystical works of John the Elder (John of Dalyāthā), an East-Syrian mystical writer of the 8th c. The authors provide a critical edition of the 30 chapters and suppose that initially they were extracted from the Capita scientiae of Joseph Hazzāyā, a contemporary of John the Elder. This attribution is confirmed by numerous parallels, both in style and mystical teaching, between the 30 chapters and the genuine works of Joseph. Kalinin, Maksim G., and Aleksandr M.
