From Rabban Saumäs report of his embassy, and the two monk¿s memories of their journey from China to Mesopotamia, an anonymous author compiled a biography of Sauma and Mark. He interspersed their report and memories with a narrative about ¿the occurrences of their time ¿ what happened to them, through them or because of them, relating everything just as it happened¿.
The result was a chronicle titled ¿History of Mar Yahballaha and Rabban Saumä, of which a single manuscript was discovered in the late nineteenth century in the remote mountains of Hakkari (Eastern Turkey). The ¿History¿ is one of the more recent examples of classical Syriac literature, a major Christian literary tradition of the Near East.
While the encounter with two Asian ¿Marco Polos¿ of sorts constitutes the ¿History¿¿s most immediate element of appeal for present-day readers, the work deserves to be read in its entirety, as a rich and lively testimony of a time of unprecedented interconnectedness in the history of Eurasia in the time of the Mongol Empire.
