Armenian Apocrypha Relating to Biblical Heroes - Hardcover

by Michael E. Stone (Author)

The Armenian tradition is particularly richly endowed with tales of biblical heroes such as such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Solomon, Daniel and Susanna, and more. Michael E. Stone translates these stories from medieval manuscripts into English and shows how some ancient traditions dating to the Second Temple period were transmitted and transformed by Armenian authors. The texts reflect the richness of Armenian creativity stimulated by piety and learning.
