| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the function of historiography in the formation of religious identity in Late Antique Iran. The main focus will be the models of Church-State relation generated by the East-syriac historiography of the Fifth and Sixth Centuries. First we will concentrate in the different ways in which the modern Historians characterized the place of the Church in the Sasanian religious and political Order. Secondly, we will consider some models of kingship produced by the Christian Historians of the Sasanian Empire. These models, far from expressing the actual marginality of the Christian community, revealed the tensions generated by the building of religious barriers (Christina/pagan, Orthodox/Heretic) in a World characterized by ambiguity. To sum up, these models were ways of representing specifically Christian pattern of authority and identity related to the particular conditions of the Iranian Society. |
