Gerasimos, Abbot Of The Monastery Of Saint Symeon
Gerasimos (or Gerasimus) was a Christian apologist and monk who wrote in Arabic. He lived in the Middle Ages, sometime between the 9th and 13th centuries. Life Virtually nothing is known of Gerasimos' biography. His only surviving work provides no information beyond what is indicated by the long title: that he was the abbot of the Greek Orthodox monastery of the Blessed Saint Symeon the Wonderworker outside of Antioch. He may have been a native of Antioch. Even his dates are unknown. He cannot have been writing earlier than the 9th century or later than the 13the century. He cites the work of Theodore Abū Qurra, who died around 820 and the earliest surviving manuscript of his own work dates to the 13th century. Furthermore, the monastery of Saint Symeon was destroyed by Sultan Baybars during his campaign against Antioch in 1268 and never recovered. His writing must be placed before that date, although perhaps not long before. Most authorities place him in the 12th or 13th cen ...
