[edit] Starting the page

I've added whatever I had to get this article under way. There is more in the German article, but my German is a bit shaky. The only bits of the Chronicle that I can find are in French and about the crusades, so I have translated those and stuck them in here. But they give an unbalanced impression of his history, so if anyone can add more, that would be good. The statements about the box in Aleppo come from a very serious Syriac scholar whom I can't really name, over dinner. Roger Pearse 21:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
