	Abgarus of Edessa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abgar V or Abgarus V of Edessa (4 BC - AD 7 and AD 13 - 50) is a historical ruler of the kingdom of Osroene, holding his capital at Edessa.
		In Christian mythology the story of king Abgar of Edessa was an early tale of a wonder-working icon, set in the heart of the region where iconoclast tradition disapproved strongly of images in general and miraculous ones in particular, but which this icon-legitimizing legend connected directly with Jesus.
		Another theory is that the story was fabricated by Abgar IX of Osroene, during whose reign the kingdom became Christianized, as a way of legitimizing this religious transformation.

	RAMELLI: Possible historical traces in the Doctrina Addai
		Abgar was the king of a little buffer state placed in a strategic position between the Roman empire and the Parthian kingdom in a period during which Tiberius strongly wanted to secure the loyalty of the states situated near the Parthian border.
		Abgar, too, was loyal to Rome—like his homonymous predecessor—before Meherdates' affair, as we know from Moses119 and from Procopius,120 even if before AD 35 he may have done something that made him suspect to the Romans.
		Abgar's first acts of foreign politics are characterized by an evident good will towards Tiberius, who, attentive to the situation in the Near East at the beginning of the thirties,146 in AD 31 probably helped him to recover his throne after Abgar Hewârâ's usurpation, in order to secure an ally against Herod.

	The Legend of Abgar
		The nature of Abgar's sickness has been gravely discussed, to the credit of various writers' imaginations, so holding that it was gout, others leprosy; the former saying that it had lasted seven years, the latter discovering that the sufferer had contracted his disease during a stay in Persia.
		Moreover, the quotations are made not from the Gospels proper, but from the famous concordance of Tatian, compiled in the second century, and known as the "Diatessaron", thus fixing the date of the legend as approximately the middle of the third century.
		The decree, "De libris non recipiendis", of the pseudo-Gelasius, places the letter among the apocrypha, which may, possibly, be an allusion to its having been interpolated among the officially sanctioned lessons of the liturgy.
