1643 1ed Barlaam & Josaphat Martyrs Buddha John of Damascus Syria Buddhism Billy
Jacques de Billy de Prunay was a 16th-century Benedictine monk and historian who wrote a rather unique history of the lives and ministries of Saint John of Damascus and Saint Barlaam and Josaphat. The story of Barlaam and Josaphat has long been associated with legend of Buddha, conversions to Christianity, and early Sanskrit history. 17th-century printings of any Barlaam and Josaphat story are rare and desirable, and this 1643 edition from Billy de Prunay is no exception.
