This work retells the life of the Bishop Marutha of Maipherkat, or Martyropolis, as translated from the Armenian text. Bishop Marutha was twice envoy from the East Roman Empire to Yezdegerd I of Persia, and his theological work is preserved in the Church of the East. His work includes a written history of the Persian martyrs, and tradition ascribes the name of his city to the number of relics he brought back. In addition to the original Armenian text, also referenced are a useful selection of other writings about him in Greek, Syriac, and Arabic. This compilation contains many details of Bishop Marutha's missions not recorded elsewhere, and his life illuminates our understanding of Christianity in the early fifth century.

Hunayn ibn Ishaq and the Kitab Adab al-falasifah

The Pursuit of Wisdom and a Humane Polity in Early Abbasid Baghdad
Series: Analecta Gorgiana 122
ISBN: 978-1-60724-043-3
With a focus on the Kitāb Ādāb al-falāsifah, a book of aphorisms attributed to Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq, some of the important aspects of the Kitāb are laid out, particularly those dealing with religion and the pursuit of philosophy. Although putatively, translators and scholars such as Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq, opened the way for philosophical dialogue between Muslims and Christians of Orthodox churches on precepts, often based on Aristotle, which they could agree would lead to wisdom and a humane society.

Series: Analecta Gorgiana 1093
