Abstract

Similarities between the two celestial entities, the Zoroastrian Srōš (or Sraoša) and the Christian St. Sergius, have occasionally been mentioned in studies on late-antique and medieval Iran. Comparing the Zoroastrian and Syriac Christian traditions, the study will deal with evidence describing a phenomenological complex that includes the manifestation of celestial entities through a revelatory dream or vision and the consequent awakening of the individual consciousness. The parallelisms will be viewed in the perspective of historical and cultural dynamics that characterized the socio-political horizon of the late Sasanian Empire, especially during the reign of Khosrow II Parviz (Husraw II Parvēz). The heterogeneous society of the frontier zone between Rome and Iran determined the development of trans-cultural elements fostering dialogue among different components of the population. This phenomenon, along with the increasing integration of the Christian community in late Sasanian society, favored processes of assimilation and hybridization of narrative motifs connected to the representation of salvific and protective figures extremely popular at that time.
探访与觉醒:琐罗亚斯德教Srōš和基督教圣塞尔吉乌斯之间的跨文化和功能相似性
这两个天体,琐罗亚斯德教的Srōš(或Sraoša)和基督教的St.Sergius之间的相似之处,在对伊朗晚期和中世纪的研究中偶尔会被提及。比较琐罗亚斯德教和叙利亚基督教的传统,本研究将处理描述现象学复合体的证据,该现象学复合体包括天体通过启示性的梦或视觉的表现以及随之而来的个人意识的觉醒。这些平行主义将从历史和文化动态的角度来看待,这是萨珊帝国晚期社会政治视野的特征,尤其是在Khosrow II Parviz统治期间。罗马和伊朗边境地区的异质社会决定了跨文化因素的发展,促进了人口不同组成部分之间的对话。这一现象,加上萨珊社会后期基督教社区的日益融合,有利于同化和混合叙事主题的过程,这些叙事主题与当时极为流行的救助和保护人物的表现有关。

期刊介绍: Publication of the Association for the Study of Persianate Societies. The journal publishes articles on the culture and civilization of the geographical area where Persian has historically been the dominant language or a major cultural force, encompassing Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, as well as the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and parts of the former Ottoman Empire. Its focus on the linguistic, cultural and historical role and influence of Persian culture and Iranian civilization in this area is based on a recognition that knowledge flows from pre-existing facts but is also constructed and thus helps shape the present reality of the Persianate world.
