The classic hagiography of Saint George is presented here by E. W. Brooks. Although originally written in Greek, the Syriac manuscripts of this text are important early witnesses. Brooks gives a critical edition of the Syriac accompanied by an annotated English translation of the Acts. A thorough explanation of the manuscript sources forms an introduction to the work. The Acts of Saint George stands in the tradition of early Christian devotional and historical records, and is a standard source for information about this formative saint.
Ernest Walter Brooks (1863-1955) was a Fellow of King’s College. A noted translator of classics, he was a highly regarded Syriac scholar.
