History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria

The History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria is a major historical work of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. It is the only continuous narrative on the history of the Non-Chalcedonian Alexandrian Patriarchate. It is written in Coptic, but draws extensively on older biographical Greek and Coptic sources. It was ultimately compiled in the tenth century in Arabic by the Coptic bishop of Hermopolis, Severus Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ.
