Barsauma was a fifth-century Syrian ascetic, archimandrite, and
leader of monks, notorious for his extreme asceticism and violent
anti-Jewish campaigns across the Holy Land. Although Barsauma was a
powerful and revered figure in the Eastern church, modern
scholarship has widely dismissed him as a thug of peripheral
interest. Until now, only the most salacious bits of the Life of
Barsauma-a fascinating collection of miracles that Barsauma
undertook across the Near East-had been translated. This pioneering
study includes the first full translation of the Life and a series
of studies by scholars employing a range of methods to illuminate
the text from different angles and contexts. This is the
authoritative source on this influential figure in the history of
the church and his life, travels, and relations with other
religious groups.
