Life
Venerable Joasaph, son of the holy king Abenner (Avenir), is recorded in the calendar without further details. By his father's name he is, in all likelihood, the prince of the story of Barlaam and Joasaph, who gave up the throne for the monastic life; that story is commemorated chiefly on 19 November.
The sources consulted give no other details. Venerable Joasaph is commemorated on 26 August.
