The Heavenly Counterpart Traditions in the Pseudepigrapha about Jacob 4. The Heavenly Counterpart Traditions in Joseph and Aseneth Conclusion Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsThis book is the first complete effort to show how some pseudepigraphical works develop several unique traditions about heavenly counterparts. It is particularly important for many scholars who do not have control of the Slavonic originals of the Ladder of Jacob and 2 Enoch. Orlov also draws on a broad range of unfamiliar sources, including Manichaean and Mandaean materials, which were often neglected by experts who previously investigated the heavenly counterpart imagery. - Alexander Kulik, coauthor of Biblical Pseudepigrapha in Slavonic Tradition Author InformationAndrei A.
