| Summary: | This work is an attempt to apply retroversion to the Jewish pseudepigraphon preserved in Slavonic, in order to solve its problems of interpretation. It makes the first contribution to the systematic accumulation of such interpretation solutions and thus paves the way to a developed general methodology of retroversion of Slavonic pseudepigrapha. The writing chosen for this study is the Apocalypse of Abraham, an extremely obscure text whose meaning can be explained only on the level of its Greek Vorlage and even its Hebrew/Aramaic original. After retroversion, some fragments receive totally new meanings. |
