Lives and Legends of the Georgian Saints de David Marshall Lang

Lives and Legends of the Georgian Saints: Ethical and Religious Classics of East and West

Autor David Marshall Lang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 noi 2023
With the exception of the life of St. Nino, none of the biographies here had been previously translated into English when this book was originally published in 1956. The lives of the Georgian saints are rich and many-sided, not dry chronicles of monkish trivialities. They contain vivid descriptions of life in the Caucasus, Byzantium and Palestine. They give the reader insight into the history and aspirations of an important branch of the Eastern Church and into its relationships with Zoroastrian Persia, the Arab Caliphate, the Imperial Court of Constantinople and the whole world of mediaeval Christendom.

Recenzii

‘…His survey of the Georgian saints is simply and freshly written and he allows the biographers of the saints to tell most of the story by rendering into English texts which have been edited in several languages in books and periodicals often difficult of access. ‘ W. E. D. Allen, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies.
'They throw much light on the history of the Eastern Church...' The Times Literary Supplement
'Fascinating hagiography...' Church Times.
