Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching

Demonstratio praedicationis apostolicae · Ἐπίδειξις τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ κηρύγματος

About the English. The Greek original is lost; the work survives complete only in an Armenian translation (edition: Ter-Mekerttschian and Wilson, PO 12.5, 1919). The English here is J. Armitage Robinson's translation of the Armenian (London: SPCK, 1920), published as it stands; only OCR slips and non-text (running heads, footnotes, marginal Scripture references) were removed. No original-language text is shown.
