Description
Summary:The patriarchal lists of the See of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, in Persia, known since the VIth century, present the first bishops as relatives of Joseph the Carpenter. They show a real reflection on the origins of the Syro-Oriental Church and reveal how a Church was able to use an apocryphal tradition to reinforce its new patriarchal role. This process is a fundamental caracteristic of the religious policy of the See. The recuperation of Davidic prerogatives and the parental argument throw light on this strategy.
