Nemesius' On the Nature of Man


The Armenian Antilibrary eBook of Philo of Alexandria's Questions on Genesis

On the Nature of Man


Trilingual Edition


by Nemesius of Emesa


Editor's Preface

This is a trilingual edition of Nemesius of Emesa's On the Nature of Man in Classical Armenian, Latin and English. The work was originally composed in Greek in the late 4th century by Bishop Nemesius of Emesa (modern Homs). The Classical Armenian text, composed in the so-called Յունաբան (Hellenic) style, is from the 1889 edition published at the Monastery of San Lazzaro. The Classical Armenian text in this eBook is grammatically tagged and parsed. The translation is thought to be a work of the 8th century, completed or perhaps initiated by Stepanos Syunetsi. The Latin text was translated by Alphansus of Salerno in 1080. The English translation presented here is from the 1955 English translation edited by William Telfer.
