The Nestorian Church is the name given to the ancient Christian community of the Assyrians and their converts, first founded in the fourth century. Though surviving for 800 years, and in that time producing may remarkable theologians and philosophers, the church was practically wiped out by the Tatar hordes at the end of the fourteenth century. Thereafter only a remnant of the western community survived, confined to the area then known as northern Mesopotamia. By the mid-nineteenth century, churchmen in England were anxious to secure what knowledge they could of this religious group, seeking also to prevent its complete demise. It was for this reason that George Percy badger was sent as delegate to the Eastern Churches in 184204, and again in 1850, travelling widely throughout that inhospitable region within the borders of modern day Turkey, Iraq and Syria. This present work, first published in 1852 in two volumes and here reproduced in facsimile, contains a unique and detailed account of the rituals and practices of the Nestorian church and other significant religious groups in that region.

1852. Volume Two of Two. And of a late visit to those countries in 1850; also, researches into the present condition of the Syrian Jacobites, Papal Syrians and Chaldeans and an inquiry into the religious tenets of the Yezeedees. The Nestorian church began when the patriarch of Constantinople, Nestorius, was declared a heretic by the Council of Ephesus. A large group of supporters of Nestorius's theology flees the areas under control of the Roman Empire (and hence the Catholic Church), and comes to Persia. From this time on, they develop into their own church. Later, many Nestorian congregations rejoin with the Roman Catholic Church, and are called Chaldean, or Chaldean Catholic, or East Syriac (referring to Nestor would not have been acceptable for the Catholic Church). The congregations not joining with the Catholic Church became known as Assyrian Christians or Nestorians. The Reverend Badger has written a unique and detailed account of the rituals and practices of the Nestorian church and other significant religious groups in that region.
