Jingjing (monk)

Jingjing or Adam (Chinese: 景淨; pinyin: Jǐngjìng; Wade–Giles: Ching3-ching4) was an 8th-century Persian Christian monk in China. He composed the text on the Nestorian Stele, which described the history of the Church of the East in China from 635 to 781.[1] Many scholars believe he is also the author of the later Jingjiao Documents.[2]
