'Excerpts from the Book of the Bee’

‘Bishop Shelemon of Armenia – Forgotten Nestorian Christian Mystic'
Issue Twenty One
Compiled by Marilynn Hughes
Of this issue’s forgotten mystic, Bishop Shelemon of Armenia, little is known except for the a small excerpt from an introduction to his one known work, ‘The Book of the Bee,’ by his translator E.A. Wallis Budge, renowned Egyptologist and historian.
"OF the author of 'the Book of the Bee,' the bishop Shelêmôn or Solomon, but very little is known. He was a native of Khilât or Akhlât (in Armenia, at the western end of lake Vân), and by religious profession a Nestorian. He became metropolitan bishop of al-Basra (in al-`Irâk, on the right bank of the united streams of the Tigris and Euphrates) about A.D. 1222, in which year he was present at the consecration of the catholicus or Nestorian patriarch Sabr-îshô` (Hope-in-Jesus) (see Assemânî, Bibl. Orient., t. ii, p. 453, no. 75; Bar-hebraeus, Chron. Eccl., t. ii, p. 371). In the Catalogue of Ecclesiastical Works compiled by `Ebêd-yêshû` or `Abd-îshô` (the-Servant-of-Jesus) he is stated to have written, besides 'the Bee,' a treatise on the figure of the heavens and the earth, and sundry short discourses and prayers (see Assemânî,
