IN the literary world of medieval Christendom, few works rival the popularity of the edifying tale of Barlaam and Ioasaph. As is well known, the work purports to relate the conversion of the Indians by the Christian sage and ascetic Barlaam. In reality, it is a Christianized version of episodes from the life of Buddha. In its Western form, it consists of a set of apologues or fables woven into a narrative framework, and interspersed with quotations from the Scriptures and from the Greek Fathers. All versions in European languages derive from the Greek Barlaam, which became well-known from the 11th century onwards
