Book Of Daniel And The Apocryphal Daniel Literature (Studia in Veteris Testamenti Pseudepigrapha) [Hardcover]

Lorenzo DiTommaso (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 9004144129 | ISBN-13: 978-9004144125 | Publication Date: May 30, 2005

This volume illuminates the full extent of the corpus of ancient and mediaeval apocryphal Daniel literature. It is the first study to examine the Daniel legenda, the apocryphal apocalypses, and the prognostica as discrete categories of texts and to evaluate their generic relationship to the biblical Book of Daniel. Special emphases include the identification of the texts and their manuscript evidence as well as the study of late antique and early mediaeval apocalyptic literature attributed to Daniel. This volume will be of particular interest to biblical scholars and to those who specialise in biblical apocrypha and pseudepigrapha.
