Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The History of the 'Slave of Christ': From Jewish Child to Christian Martyr offers the first critical editions and English translations of the two Syriac recensions of this fascinating text, which narrates the story of a young Jewish child, Asher, who after converting to Christianity and taking the name ¿A¿d¿ da-M?i¿¿ ('slave of Christ') is martyred by his father Levi in a scene reminiscent of Abraham's offering of Isaac in Genesis 22. In a detailed introduction, the authors argue that the text is a fictional story composed during the early Islamic period (ca. 650850) probably in Shigar (modern Sinj¿r).
