Yahya of Antioch, full name Yaḥya ibn Saʿīd al-Anṭākī (Arabic: يحيى بن سعيد الأنطاكي), was a Melkite Christian physician and historian of the 11th century.
He became a physician, but the anti-Christian policies of Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah (r. 996–1021) forced him to flee to Byzantine-held Antioch.
[4] Drawing on a variety of sources, his history deals with events in the Byzantine Empire,[5] Egypt, as well as Bulgaria and the Kievan Rus'.
Whilst in Antioch, he also wrote theological works in defence of Christianity and refutations of Islam and Judaism.
[3] His history was published, edited and translated in 1924 by I. Kratchkovsky and A. Vasiliev into French in Volumes 18, 23, and 47 of the Patrologia Orientalis.
