Zosimus The Hermit
Zosimus the Hermit was an ascetic who resided in the wilds of Cilicia and Palestine in the 3rd century AD.

Story Of Zosimus
The ''Story of Zosimus'' (also called the ''Narration'', ''Apocalypse'' or ''Journey of Zosimus'') is a Ancient Greek language, Greek text of the 5th century AD. It has sometimes been classified as among the Old Testament pseudepigrapha. In the Middle Ages, it was translated into Syriac language, Syriac, Arabic, Ge'ez, Armenian language, Armenian, Georgian language, Georgian and Church Slavonic, Slavonic. There is a history of debate over whether the text is Judaism, Jewish or Christianity, Christian in origin, and over its textual history. The ''Story'' is divided into 18 chapters, of which chapters 8–10 form a self-contained work conventionally known as the "History of the Rechabites" and chapters 11–16 form a distinct work known as the "Abode of the Blessed". The "History" was once thought to be the original kernel, around which the rest of the text was composed, but this is not generally accepted today. It has even been argued to be a late addition to the text. The ''Story' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
