Description
Translated late 17th century or early 18th century. It was likely translated from Latin to Arabic first, and then Joseph II translated it from Arabic to Syriac. It's possible that he did both translations, but that's uncertain.

General notes

Description
This is an attributed authorship known from other versions of this text in other languages. The Syriac version here does not attribute the text to Bridget, and even the attribution to her in other languages is likely spurious.
Description
"Revelation of Christ's wounds," a Birgittine devotional apocryphon, derived from the famous prayers attributed to St. Brigit, probably written originally in Latin; This text discusses primarily the discovery of this same text in Ethiopic, where it is attributed to Bridget, but it makes no mention of the Syriac version, which appears to be unknown until now.
