If you are using a graphical browser, this is the online equivalent of a "large print" edition. Barlaam and Josaphat Main characters of a seventh-century Christian legend. Barlaam, a hermit, converted the prince Josaphat to Christianity, despite the efforts of Josaphat's father Abenner to prevent such a thing. Although Barlaam and Josaphat are included in the Roman Martyrology and in the Greek calendar, the story is actually a Christianized version of a legend about Buddha. The Ecole Glossary: Barlaam and Ioasaph An essay on their legend, by Norman Hugh Redington. Immensely popular in the Middle Ages, this story was translated into European, Middle Eastern, and African languages; and "the True Faith was variously identified as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Manichaeism."
