The first ever edition and translation of a biography of Sallara and his mother Elishbah, exploring both its local context – their asceticism and deeds in North Mesopotamia in the early 7th century – and the geopolitical events underway in the Middle East: war between Persia and Byzantium, and the rise of Islam in the region.
