DESCRIPTION:REMIO Guest Lecture by Alexei Muraviev (Higher School of Econo
 mics\, Moscow\, Russia)\n \n\nChristian missionaries who carried out the 
 task of bringing the Gospel to the distant lands of the Roman (and beyond-
 Roman) countries were on many occasions not the first to come there. Quite
  often they headed to places where Jewish emigrees lived already. There ar
 e three specific cases where it was clearly so.\n\nThe first was a story r
 ecorded in the hagiographic dossier of St Nino of Georgia\, whose Inventio
 n of the Holy Vivifying Column was based on some Judeo-Christian memories 
 of local Jewry. The second one is the story of the Indian journey of St Th
 omas who turned to out to find the would-be Cochin Jewish community while 
 preaching on the Malabar Coast. The third occasion is of some later date b
 ut quite an eloquent one. Some local Jewish community on\nboth sides of th
 e Red Sea played an important role in the construction of the Ethiopic ide
 ntity. Some Jewish missionaries converted the king Du-Nuwas in Yemenite Hi
 myar to Judaism.\n\nAt the same time Jewish communities were strongly repu
 ted in Aksum for bringing there the Arc of the Covenant connected with the
  Solomonic legend of the Ethiopian kingship (reflected in the Kebra Negest
 ). There is a similarity in all these stories pointing to some stream of e
 migrees prior to the Destruction of the Temple and making up the diasporal
  Jewish community.\n\nThe lecture series is sponsored by the RUB Research 
 School and CERES.\n
