Life and Works of Saint Gregentios, Archbishop of Taphar : Introduction, Critical Edition and Translation (Millennium-Studien / Millennium Studies 7) (Reprint 2012. 2006. IX, 915 S. 240 mm)

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.
