The Acts of Andrew and Bartholomew is a 5th-century Nestorian text originally written in Koine Greek[1] which is one of many apocryphal acts of the apostles.[2] The work was influential on later Christian hagiographies of Saint Mercurius and Saint Christopher,[3] as well as several medieval Islamic traditions.[2]
