•The Church of the East and the origin of the first Barlaam and Josaphat: Kekelidze’s idea revisited•
It is generally acknowledged that the earliest Arabic version of the famous 'Barlaam and Josaphat' Romance appeared in a sectarian (shi'a) miieu before it was Christianised. The first Christian Buddha-Legend appeared probably with the Georgian translator from Arabic not earlier than the 10th c. But the idea of K. Kekelidze that the original should have appeared earlier in the bilingual Middle Persian-Syriac milieu needs reassessment. There are three reasons for that: the better understanding of the bilingual practices in Iran, the history of Indian and Central Asian missions of the Church of the East, and the onomastics of the Georgian and Arabic versions. All this provides more solid ground for revisiting the hypothesis of Prof. K. Kekelidze.
