The volume provides a collection of the minor biblical pseudepigrapha preserved solely in Slavonic; at the same time, it is also the first collection of Slavonic pseudepigrapha translated into a western European language. It includes the original texts, their translations, and commentaries focusing on the history of motifs and based on the study of parallel material in ancient and medieval Jewish and Christian literature. * Studies in Religion * [The authors] find parallels in the motives of the Slavic pseudepigrapha in unexpected places - Old Irish, Scandanavian, medieval Latin, Arabic and Armenian mythology and texts as well as Zoroastrian sources - indicating the extremely deep familiarity the authors have with their subject. At points, the authors also suggest an East Slavic origin for some of the pseudepigraphic texts. There is an impressive bibliography with books in more than ten languages and three indexes. * Illya Bey, Reading Religion * The book of the famous scientists Alexander Kulik and Sergey Minov is the first collection of Slavic pseudepigrapha translated into one of the Western European languages. --Reading Religion Author InformationAlexander Kulik is Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of German, Russian and East European Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
