The Book of Governors

English translation by E. A. Wallis Budge, from The Book of Governors: The Historia Monastica of Thomas, Bishop of Margâ, A.D. 840 , edited and translated by E. A. Wallis Budge, volume 2, the English translation (London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner & Co., 1893); public domain. The text was read by machine (Mistral OCR) from a scan from the Princeton Theological Seminary library at the Internet Archive and has not been proofread against the printed book. SermonIndex has removed running heads and page numbers, joined words split across lines, and divided the text into chapters and short sections; the wording is the translator’s own. Footnotes and the editor’s introduction are left out. Budge’s additional notes and his essay on the Syriac version of the Paradise of Palladius are also left out, and the pages that are mostly in Syriac script could not be read by the OCR, so some letters and short passages that the book prints in that script are missing here. No original-language text is shown beside it, and no modern English version has been made. Licence. The translation was published in 1893 and is in the public domain. Licence: Public domain.
