Nestorian manuscripts

Nestorian manuscripts are ancient texts related to a Christian theological tradition known as Nestorianism, which emphasizes the distinction between Jesus Christ's divine and human natures. Originating in the 5th century, these manuscripts include religious writings, letters, and liturgical texts that reflect Nestorian beliefs. They are important for understanding early Christian diversity and were mainly preserved in Middle Eastern Christian communities, particularly in Persia (Iran) and Armenia. Their discovery provides valuable insight into the historical development of Christian theology, emphasizing the complex ways early Christians interpreted the nature of Jesus.
