  • Summary

  • The Syriac Apocalypse of Daniel, a seventh-century Syriac Christian text, is a retelling of the biblical Book of Daniel's story with added legendary elements and apocalyptic visions. Preserved in a single manuscript, it was edited and translated into English by Matthias Henze in 2001, making it accessible to scholars. The text's two main sections detail Daniel's historical experiences and his visionary prophecies about the end times, including the Antichrist and the Second Coming. Reflecting the socio-political anxieties of its era, it offers a generalized portrayal of the cosmic struggle between good and evil, likely aimed at monastic communities. Its significance lies in its illustration of the vibrant apocalyptic tradition within early Syriac Christianity.
