Persia - Opis:
- This article insists on the importance of a very complex and intriguing Byzantine Greek text, usually denominated Narratio de rebus Persicis, De Gestis in Perside, or Disputatio de Christo in Persia, which contains a large amount of extremely interesting material enabling a better comprehension of the image of Iran in Western Late Antiquity from the point of view of the contemporary Christian perception. Among the main aims of this book, full of compositional strata of different origins and times (e.g. the very important and archaic prophesy of Jesus’ birth through the voice of a star appeared to Cyrus the Great in a temple), one was certainly to criticise the extremely polemical attitude of opposing Christian Churches and communities in the East, particularly in the milieu of the Sasanian Empire. In fact, the great framework of the present work is occasionally offered by a theological debate, lasting for days, which should have been taken at the court of a fictitious Persian king, named Ἀρρινάτος. This study offers new arguments supporting the presence in such a frequently forgotten Greek source of some clear references to the kingdoms of Kawād I and Xusraw I, with particular reference to anti-Mazdakite polemics. Furthermore, the final part of the article proposes an Iranological evaluation of the resonance produced by the name of the Persian protagonist of the whole book, the wise Aphroditianus (Ἀφροδιτιανός).
