This present volume printed in 14 point font for easy viewing pleasure, contains a complete translation of the Syriac text of the compendious history of the world from the Creation to the Crucifixion of our Lord, which is commonly known as "Me'arath Gazze," or the "Cave of Treasures." In the Syriac title the composition of the work is attributed to Ap[h]rem Suryaya, i.e. Ephrem Syrus, or Ephraim the Syrian, who was born at Nisibis (?) soon after A.D. 306 and died in 373, but it is now generally believed that the form in which we now have it is not older than the VIth century.
