The article provides of comprehensive examination of the main examples of typological exegesis that substantiate the eschatological framework of Pseudo-Methodius’s Syriac Apocalypse. In particular, the articles pays attention at Pseudo-Methodius’s original use of earlier Syriac writings (especially the Cave of the Treasures and the corpus of early seventh-century eschatological literature centered around the figure of Alexander the Great) which offered the material for original typological exegesis of crucial events in the universal history; additionally, the article reassesses the most original motif of Pseudo-Methodius’s representation of the “Last World Emperor” as the scion of the “Ethiopian” royal dynasty and provides some final remarks on the possible function and signification of the “unknown East” in Pseudo-Methodius’s historical and eschatological account.
