Description ▲
This volume contains a general introduction to, English translation of, and philological-historical commentary on, an anonymous seventh-century AD hagiographical text entitled "An Account of the Miracles of the Holy and Glorious Megalomartyr and Wonder-worker Artemios". The general introduction discusses the historical persona of St Artemios, whose healing activities are predominantly centred on the Church of St John Prodromos in Constantinople and who specializes in healing hernias and diseases affecting the genitals of mostly male patients. Also included is a photographic reproduction of the Greek text.
