The Patriarch and the Caliph: An Eighth-Century Dialogue Between Timothy I and Al-Mahdi by

tymelgren's review

4.0

Useful summary and commentary, with English and Arabic helpfully presented side by side, though within the commentary and footnotes the Christian bias is occasionally noticeable and slightly annoying. In terms of the primary text, the 1930s Mingana translation from the Syriac is still the most fun to read.
