So what's it about OP. Have you read his other books, if so, how does this one stack up to them?

I am a bit interested being a almost reformed fantasy nut, and a current Byzantine nut.

It means "the city" So its just an unnameable place for them

That was just the little town it once was. Fine enough shorthand name, but its still Constantinople.

I used to see this book back when I was illiterate. Hmmm

Anyone else here give L'Amour a chance?

I looked into a lot of this myself.

The originals, if there were any, are all lost of course, but the oral tradition kept them going. Easier to burn a scroll/book than a human you suspect of knowing a book or two.
So whenever they were first written down, there were around 30+ stories/gospels floating around (Including what now call "gnostic gospels" but they're just as legit as the remaining revered four) Years around 100~ to 250AD~ little congregations start spreading around to Egypt, Armenia, Asia Minor, Greece, and the rest of the Roman empire.
Till Constantine found it, and moved the capital city to Byzantium, etc.
tl;dr: Greek. Unless you want to find some in Aramaic.
