Description:

A new translation of the most popular Christian tale of the Middle Ages, which springs from the story of the Buddha Appearing first in Greece among the works of the eighth-century monk and scholar, St. John of Damascus, Barlaam and Josaphat has since been translated into numerous languages around the world. Philologists eventually traced the name Josaphat as a derivation from the Sanskrit bodhisattva , the Buddhist term for the future Buddha, highlighting this text as essential source reading for several of the world's most popular religions.
