This volume introduces a cycle of stories about Abraham as
preserved in fifteen unpublished, late medieval manuscripts in
Armenian, published here in English for the first time with
commentaries, annotations, and critical apparatus. The texts
present embroidered Abraham stories dealing with his youth, his
life in Egypt, the binding of Isaac, the story of Melchizedek, and
other tales. Embedding Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and other
ancient traditions, these texts demonstrate mutual borrowing and
influence over centuries.
