For many years now, the series of Translated Texts for Historians offers valuable translations into English of important late-ancient writings from Greek, Latin and Eastern Christian tradition. The present work is a welcome addition to the series as it offers a translation of two lives of the famous patriarch Severus of Antioch....The translation, flawless as one might expect, is accompanied by a series of short notes with references to the characters and events mentioned in it, as well as, a glossary of technical terms, a Bibliography, and an appendix with the list of the bishops of the important sees.Joseph Verheyden , Journal of Early Christian Studies
