Paperback / softback

Description

The first critical editions and English translations of the two Syriac recensions of a fascinating text which narrates the story of a young Jewish child, Asher.

After converting to Christianity and taking the name ?A?da da-Mši?a (‘slave of Christ’), he is martyred by his father.

In a detailed introduction, Butts and Gross challenge the use of this text by previous scholars as evidence for historical interactions between Jews and Christians, reevaluating its purpose and situating the story in its Late Antique Babylonian context.
