The Chronography of George Synkellos (2002) is a book by William Adler and Paul Tuffin.

Abstract

English translation of George Syncellus' Chronographia, containing the Greek fragments of 1 Enoch. Based on the critical edition (1984) by Alden A. Mosshammer.

"George Synkellos, a monk of Constantinople who once held a position of authority under the patriarch Tarasios, composed (in Greek) a chronicle of universal history in the early ninth century. Beginning with the creation of the universe, the chronicle preserves a rich collection of ancient sources, many of them otherwise unknown. The English translation provided here, together with introduction and notes, promises to make this influential and wide-ranging history more accessible to Byzantinists, students of ancient historiography, and specialists in biblical chronology, early Judaism, Egypt, and the Ancient Near East."--Publisher description.
