This volume brings together the texts and translations for three Syriac martyr acts, set in Sasanian Persia during the reign of Shapur II (309-379 CE). These texts offer compelling witness to the challenges of a community's need to honor memory and experience, and evidence towards the formation and sustenance of Christian identity in the midst of Persian society and culture.
