In 1895 , a 16th-century book manuscript containing a copy of a text written by Nestorius was discovered by American missionaries in the library of the Nestorian patriarch in the mountains at Konak , Hakkari . This book had suffered damage during Muslim conquests , but was substantially intact , and copies were taken secretly . The Syriac translation had the title of the '' Bazaar of Heracleides '' . The original 16th-century manuscript was destroyed in 1915 during the Turkish massacres of Assyrian Christians . Edition of this work is primarily to be attributed to the German scholar , Friedrich Loofs , of Halle University
