The History of Yaballaha III and Rabban Sauma is an original Syriac historical document of the Assyrian Church of the East in the 13th century.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 complete English translation made by E. A. Wallis Budge based on the Syriac text edited and published by Fr. Paul Bedjan in 1895.
