Armenian Apocrypha Relating to Abraham (Early Judaism and Its Literature)

Armenian Apocrypha Relating to Abraham (Early Judaism and Its Literature) By Michael E. Stone
2012 | 290 Pages | ISBN: 1589837150 | PDF | 3 MB


This volume introduces a cycle of stories about Abraham as preserved in fifteen unpublished, late medieval manuscripts in Armenian, published here in English for the first time with commentaries, annotations, and critical apparatus. The texts present embroidered Abraham stories dealing with his youth, his life in Egypt, the binding of Isaac, the story of Melchizedek, and other tales. Embedding Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and other ancient traditions, these texts demonstrate mutual borrowing and influence over centuries.
