The History of Yaballaha III and Rabban Sauma is an original Syriac historical document of the Assyrian Church of the East in the 13th century. It records the adventures of two members of the Church from China who set out on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. On the way, one becomes Patriarch of the Church of the East and the other is sent on a mission to Europe on behalf of the Mongol Khan. This volume contains a modern Assyrian translation made by Mattai Bet Petros at the request of Yonatan Bet Sulaiman and was originally published by Shamasha Gewargis d-Bet Binyamin of Ashita at his Nineveh Press in Kirkuk in 1961. To this edition is added an index that was written by the late Senharib Mishael Auraham.
