Ancient Traditions of the Virgin Marys Dormition and Assumption
The ancient Dormition and Assumption traditions are a collection of over sixty different narratives, preserved in nine ancient languages, that commemorate the end of the Virgin Mary's life. The present study aims to remedy this situation with a detailed analysis of the earliest traditions of Mary's death, including liturgical and archaeological evidence as well as the numerous narrative sources. These traditions have long been overlooked by scholars of early Christianity, no doubt largely because this complicated corpus was insufficiently well known.
The book will be of interest to all scholars of early Christian literature. Several of the most important narratives are translated in appendices, many appearing in English for the first time.
The Assumption of Mary
Blood of the Virgin
The Life of the Virgin
Bells Of St MaryS. The BD
