The Palace that the Apostle Thomas Built in India

<p>This work by the 5th century Syriac father St. Jacob of Serug expands on the tradition that St. Thomas the Apostle built a palace in India for king Gondophares. This tradition is found elsewhere in texts like the Acts of Thomas as well as in the Ramban Pattu which all account part of this legend. This texts by St. Jacob appears to be independent of the two aforementioned traditions as it disagrees with some of the details of their account. This text is available for the first time in the English language being originally composed in the Classical Syriac tongue.</p>
