The paper presents extant texts narrating about St. Moses the Ethiopian or the Black written in Greek, Coptic, Ge?ez, Syrian, Arabic and Old Church Slavonic and reviews the cult of the saint connected to the Baramus Monastery in the Scetis Desert or the Nitrian Desert. His preserved images in Egypt, Palestine, Byzantium, and in the countries whose churches used various recensions of the Old Church Slavonic language are listed. The final part of the study proposes some conclusions on his cult and representation.
