The volume includes Michael E. Stone's translation, extensive commentary, and twenty-seven essays that trace the history of parabiblical concepts and events from the Second Temple and early Christian periods down to the second millennium. Including stories of Satan's fall from the garden, the raven's role in Abel's murder, the burial places of Adam and Eve, and Noah's fourth son, the book forms a dictionary of Armenian parabiblical traditions for scholars and students interested in reception history in early Judaism and Christianity." --Page [4] of cover NO With bibliographic references (pages 235-267), ancient sources index (pages 269-286), and general index (pages 287-305) CN BS1696 SN 1-62837-618-X SN 978-1-62837-618-0 SN 978-1-62837-617-3 SN 1-62837-617-1 K1 Apocryphal books K1 Apocryphal books : Translations into English K1 Apocryphes
