One of the main goals of this paper is to comment on the eschatological
notion of end as found in a Syriac apocalyptic text of the seventh century, the
Syriac Apocalypse of Daniel (or Pseudo-Daniel), recently edited
by Matthias Henze and the possible links with the canonical tradition related
to the Book of Daniel in the Syriac Bible and to present its own specificity
due to the eschatological tone that relates the text with the classical authors
of the fourth century like Aphraat. This eschatological tone marks a distance
with other Syriac texts of the seventh century with a more political approach.
