Abstract:

The Syriac Julian Romance, a tripartite fictional account of the reign of the Emperor Julian, was hitherto only partially known from two manuscripts. This article publishes the missing first section from Vat. Sir. 37, a section that narrates the death of Constantius II. The complete text allows us to demonstrate that the narrative was composed by a single author and that the tripartite structure does not reflect three older, separate texts. Further, we identify the Miscellaneous Chronicle of 640 as the source for most of the historical information in the Romance. This implies a new date in the first half of the seventh century, which is supported by other chronological indications in the Romance.

摘要：

《叙利亚朱利安浪漫史》是对朱利安皇帝统治时期的三方虚构记述，迄今仅通过两份手稿部分了解。本文发布了 Vat 中缺失的第一部分。先生。37，一段叙述君士坦提乌斯二世之死。完整的文本使我们能够证明叙述是由单一作者撰写的，并且三方结构并不反映三个较旧的独立文本。此外，我们认为 640 年的《杂记》是浪漫史中大部分历史信息的来源。这意味着七世纪上半叶的新日期，并得到了浪漫史中其他时间顺序指示的支持。
