ThomsonLeiden, Netherlands ;Boston, [Massachusetts] :Brill,2017.©20171 online resource (229 pages)Armenian Texts and Studies,2405-7045 ;Volume 190-04-34320-2 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.This is the first translation of the twelfth century Armenian commentary on the death of John the Evangelist as found in the Acts of John . The last section of the apocryphal life of the Evangelist became detached from the whole, and circulated widely in the churches of east and west. The Armenian version was included in service books, Bibles, and collections of saints’ lives. Yet no medieval commentary on that brief text is known in any other language. Nersēs of Lambron [1153-1198], Archbishop of Tarsus, was a prolific author and an influential player in the ecclesiastical politics of his era. He used this work as a medium for spiritual reflection, and for an exposition of the Armenian tradition as opposed to the theologies of the Greek and Syrian churches.University of Pennsylvania Armenian texts and studies ;Volume 1.281.62Thomson Robert W.181379Nersesof Lambron, Saint,1153-1198.1561848Nersesof Lambron, Saint,1153-1198.1561848Nersesof Lambron, Saint,1153-1198,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792824103321Nerses of Lambron3828907UNINA
