One of the most enduring of the saints, Saint George has seldom failed to capture the imagination of Christian readers, both ancient and modern.

The Acts of Saint George, originally written in Greek, quickly spread to many linguistic traditions in the church of late antiquity.

Presented here in vocalized Syriac and Arabic, the original text of the Acts is made easily accessible to readers of these languages.

A detailed introduction in English summarizes the hagiography for those unacquainted with the Semitic languages.

The account follows the hagiographic practice of describing the trials, steadfast faith, and martyrdom of the saint.

Also included is the story of the father of Saint George, recorded in Syriac.
