The Apocalypse of John the Little is an apocalyptic text supposedly given to John the Apostle by revelation.[1] It is dated to the eighth-century AD[1] and pertains to the rise of Islam.[2] The title includes "the Little" which is in reference to John being the younger brother of James the Great. The text models itself from that of the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel[1] and provides some of the cruelest surviving Syriac representations of Islamic dominance.[3][Note 1] It is also one of the earliest text alluding to Muhammad by Christians[Note 2] and possibly one of the earliest accounts of Christians converting to Islam.[3][Note 3]
