Traditionally attributed to Severus ibn al-Muqaffaʿ, The History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria is a many-voiced chronicle of the Coptic patriarchate, from Saint Mark through Pope Tawadros II.
Its patriarchal lives follow councils and confessions of faith, monasteries and churches, relations with rulers, persecution and renewal across Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Fatimid, Ayyubid, Mamluk, Ottoman, and modern Egypt.
The historical authors and compilers include Menas the Scribe, George the Archdeacon, John of Awsim, John of Saint Macarius, Michael of Tinnis, Mawhūb ibn Manṣūr ibn Mufarrij, John ibn Ṣāʿid, Pope Mark III ibn Zarʿah, Maʿānī Abū al-Makārim, Yūsāb of Fuwwah, ʿAbd al-Masīḥ Salīb al-Masʿūdī, and later continuators.
Prepared by Dr Bishoy Marcus, this English edition provides explanatory notes on people, places, Scripture, historical measures, and difficult readings. The translated record reaches Pope Cyril V. A clearly separated original modern continuation, written for this edition by Dr Bishoy Marcus, follows Pope John XIX through Pope Tawadros II.
For scholars, clergy, students, and general readers, this volume offers a readable path through one of Christianity’s longest ecclesiastical histories.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Traditionally attributed to Severus ibn al-Muqaffa, The History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria is a many-voiced chronicle of the Coptic patriarchate. From Saint Mark onward, named and anonymous historians carried the record across centuries, preserving the succession of the fathers who occupied the apostolic throne of Alexandria.The patriarchal lives unfold through Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Fatimid, Ayyubid, Mamluk, Ottoman, and modern Egypt. They follow councils and confessions of faith, monasteries and churches, relations with rulers, seasons of peace and persecution, famine and war, learning and pastoral care, mercy and miracle. The result is more than a sequence of biographies: it is a continuous memory of how the Coptic Church understood its life, suffering, and witness.Across these lives, the patriarchs emerge as pastors, theologians, diplomats, builders, confessors, and guardians of communal memory. Their stories show the Alexandrian see responding to councils and schisms, shifting capitals and rulers, monastic reform, linguistic change, and the daily needs of Christian communities along the Nile and beyond.This source-first English edition follows checked Arabic page images and Vatican Arabic 620. Footnotes identify people, places, dates, Scripture, historical measures, and difficult readings while preserving the devotional voice of the transmitted History.The translated record reaches Pope Cyril V. A clearly separated original modern continuation, written for this edition by Dr Bishoy Marcus, then follows the patriarchal succession from Pope John XIX through Pope Tawadros II.For scholars, clergy, students, and general readers, this volume offers a readable path through one of Christianity's longest and most important ecclesiastical histories.
