Description

Excerpt from The Histories of Rabban Hormizd the Persian and Rabban Bar-'idta, Vol. 2: Part I. English Translations Mattai was taken by the angel Of the Lord and carried back by miraculous agency to his own monastery, where he at once displayed his theft to the one hun dred and eleven monks who formed his household. As a result of certain prayers made by hormizd the brass figure began to Speak, and to bewail his evil estate and to lament that he had become the laughing stock of those who had once worshipped him; to de grade him still more George a priest took the idol and carried it about through the villages and told all the people its history. The next exploit of hor mizd was to go again to the Monastery of Mar Mattai, and, having obtained access to the chamber where the books were kept, to defile and destroy a number of jacobite works by means of a fountain Of filthy water, which welled up there in answer to his prayers; as soon as this act of destruction was committed the water ceased to flow, and the angel of the Lord carried him bodily out Of the monastery and depo sited him outside the gate, from which place he made his way home.
