| Summary: | In this essay, I have provided a brief overview of the extant manuscripts for the Syriac History of John the Son of Zebedee, a fourth- or early fifth-century apocryphal legend that probably came from Edessa. William Wright published a text and translation of the History of John in the late nineteenth century using two manuscripts. Since then, several other manuscripts of this text have been identified. Here, I present a summary of all known manuscripts of the History of John toward the goal of compiling a new text and translation in the near future. Je présente ici un bref aperçu des manuscrits existants de l'Histoire syriaque de Jean fils de Zébédée, une légende apocryphe du ive ou du début du ve siècle, probablement écrite à Édesse. À la fin du xixe siècle, William Wright a publié un texte et une traduction de l'Histoire de Jean, en utilisant deux manuscrits. Depuis lors, plusieurs autres témoins de ce texte ont été identifiés. Ici, je présente tous les manuscrits connus de l'Histoire de Jean avec l'objectif d'éditer, dans un avenir proche, un nouveau texte et une nouvelle traduction. |
