Abstract
The
Battle of Yarmuk was made between the Islamic and
Byzantine armies in 636 and created very important consequences for Byzantium
to lose the Middle East. This important battle has been described by various
historiographical traditions, in particular Arab and Byzantine sources, from
different ways. In this context, an important historiographic tradition was
also created by Christian scholars who used Syriac. Among the Syriac sources
that transmit information about the Battle of Yarmuk, 1234 Anonymous Syriac
Chronicle has a privileged place. This chronicle gives a detailed account
of the battle, but also offers alternative perspectives to the modern
researcher.

Abstract
Yermük Savaşı
636 yılında İslam ve Bizans orduları arasında yapılmış ve Bizans’ın Ortadoğu’yu
kaybetmesi kabilinden son derece önemli sonuçlar yaratmıştır. Bu mühim savaş
Arap ve Bizans kaynakları başta olmak üzere birçok historiyografi geleneği
tarafından farklı açılardan betimlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda önem taşıyan bir
historiyografi geleneği de Süryanice kullanan Hıristiyan ruhbanlar tarafından
oluşturulmuştur. Yermük Savaşı hakkında bilgiler nakleden Süryani kaynakları
arasında ise 1234 Yılı Anonim Süryani Kroniği ayrıcalıklı bir yere
sahiptir. Zira bu kronik hem bahis konusu savaş hakkında ayrıntılı
sayılabilecek bir anlatım yapmıştır, hem de modern araştırmacılara alternatif
bakış açıları sunmaktadır.
