| Publisher Description: Paul Bedjan (1838-1920) was born in Khosrova in Salamas (north of Urmia) in Persia where he was educated at a school established by French Lazarists. In 1856 at the age of 18, Bedjan went to Paris to enter as a novice in the Lazarist order, where he was ordained a priest in 1861 and returned to Persia. Following his work as a missionary among his own people in Urmia and Khosrova until the year 1880, he returned to Paris to pursue a career in editing and publishing books in Syriac and Eastern Assyrian until 1885. Bedjan then became head of the Sisters of Charity in Ans lez-Li ge in Belgium for fifteen years. Between 1902 and his death in 1920, he lived in K ln-Nippes (Germany), where he devoted much of his time to writing. Of his works, the seven edited volumes of Lives of saints and martyrs and the five volumes of verse-homilies of Jacob of Serugh are the most significant. This book, which is a translation (from Latin) of The Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis, is Bedjan's first book in Eastern Assyrian to be printed in Europe. Note that this book is in the Eastern Assyrian language. |
