Apocalyptic world history ascribed to the Greek church father St. Methodius (d. circa 312) but written originally in Syriac in the 7th century in response to the rise of Islam and later translated into Greek and Latin, prophesying the ultimate defeat of the Muslims by a messianic Last Roman Emperor.
