Translated from Syriac into English here for the first time, the legend of Mar Qardagh introduces a hero of epic proportions whose characteristics confound simple classification. During the several stages of his career, Mar Qaragh hunts like a Persian King, argues like a Greek philosopher, and renounces his Zoroastrian family to live with monks high in the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan. Drawing on both literary and artistic sources, Joel Walker explores the convergence of these diverse themes in the Christian culture of the Sasanian Empire (224-642). Taking the Qrdagh legend as its foundation, his study guides readers through the rich and complex world of late antique Iraq. 410 0$aTransformation of the classical heritage ;$v40. 606 $aNestorian Church$zIraq$xHistory 607 $aIraq$xChurch history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNestorian Church$xHistory. 676 $a275.67/02/092 676 $aB 700 $aWalker$b Joel Thomas$f1968-$01004189 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450116403321 996 $aThe legend of Mar Qardagh$92306414 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02510nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910777406503321 005 20230721031519.0 010 $a0-7914-7995-1 010 $a1-4294-7160-3 035 $a(CKB)1000000000473986 035 $a(OCoLC)140217164 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10575907 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000102462 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11137813 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000102462 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10050169 035 $a(PQKB)10400119 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3407481 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse13854 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3407481 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10575907 035 $a(OCoLC)923405700 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000473986 100 $a20060720d2007 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAmerican talmud$b[electronic resource] $ethe cultural work of Jewish American fiction /$fEzra Cappell 210 $aAlbany $cState University of New York Press$dc2007 215 $a1 online resource (245 p.) 225 1 $aSUNY series in modern Jewish literature and culture 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a0-7914-7123-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 213-221) and index. 327 $aHenry Roth's first novel : call it Jewish? -- Reflecting the world : Bernard Malamud's post-Holocaust Judaism -- Bellow's short fiction : something Jewish to remember him by -- Rebecca Goldstein : the ethics of second generation witnessing -- Four questions for Allegra Goodman -- Henry Roth's second novel : mercy for a rude youth -- The future of Jewish fiction in America. 410 0$aSUNY series in modern Jewish literature and culture. 606 $aAmerican fiction$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJewish fiction$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xIntellectual life 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJewish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 676 $a813/.5093896 700 $aCappell$b Ezra$f1971-$01523554 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777406503321 996 $aAmerican talmud$93763813 997 $aUNINA
