The Martyrdom of Eustacius (Or. 5019 and Sin. Ar. 423)

This study presents an edition of the martyrdom of Saint Eustace, as preserved in manuscript Or. 5019 (12th century). Noting the striking resemblance between this hagiographic narrative and that found in manuscript Sinai Arabic 423 (17th century conducted a comparative textual analysis aiming to identify significant variants and contextualize them linguistically and to highlight the distinct linguistic features of this version. In addition, we offer a translation that strives to faithfully convey the stylistic nuances particularly those that reflect the original source text underlying this hagiographic tradition.
