About this book

In the late 10^th century, an anonymous author wrote the fictitious account of a religious dialogue between Archbishop Gregentios and the Jewish scribe Herban and included it in a life of Gregentios based on earlier sources, which indicate that he was a missionary in Yemen in pre-Islamic times. Albrecht Berger examines and translates these texts, and he presents a critical edition.

"[...] this wonderful volume offers a new reliable critical basis, and is therefore an invaluable service, to all those - Ethiopicists included, and in the forefront - who will have to cope with the Gregentios dossier."
Alessandro Bausi in: Aethiopica 11/2008
