Abstract
The article provides the most complete review of the surviving manuscripts of the «Book of Union» by Mar Babai the Great, concludes that all later copies depend on one protograph, and clarifies its dating. A brief history of the discovery of the lost fragments is also given, their critical text based on two manuscripts (Cambridge Or. 1317 and British Library Or. 9379) and translation into Russian are published.
