This edition offers one well-known and two previously unknown tractates by a Nestorian author writing at the turn of the fifth to the sixth century CE. Despite their apologetic orientation, they illustrate changes in intellectual discourse, including systematic references to Aristotle, and at the same time provide clear evidence of the existence of a Nestorian minority within the territory of the Byzantine Empire.
