ST. JAMES, BISHOP OF NISIBIS, C.

From Theodoret, Phil. c. 1, et Aist. l. 1, c. 7. Gennadius,

c. 1. Tillemont, t. 7, p. 263. Ceillier, t. 4. Assemani,

Bibl. Orient. t. 1, p. 186. Cuper the Bollandist, and the

saint’s works, published in Armenian and Latin, by Nic.

Antonelli, at Rome, in 1755; add the accounts given of

this saint in the Menology of the Armenians at Venice,

on the seventh day of the month Caghozi, the 15th of

our December; in the Synaxary of the Egyptians on the

eighteenth of Tobi, our 12th of January, by St. Gregory of

Nariegha, an Armenian bishop, in 980, author of many devout

Armenian orations and prayers. (Orat. 99, in St. Jacob.

in libro Precum edito Constantinopoli, An. 1700.) Also by

Moyses Cheronensis, Histor. Armenæ l. 3, art. 7, though

this author flourished not in the fifth century (as the

Whistons imagine with those who confound him with Moyses

the grammarian, who translated the Bible from the Greek and

Syriac into the Armenian tongue, in the reign of Theodosius

the Younger, as Galanus mentions), but after the year 727,

in which arose the great schism of which this historian

speaks, and of which the patriarch John IV. of Oznium was

author. See James Villotte, the Jesuit, in Diction. Armen.

in Serie Patriarcharum.
