This volume fills the need for a new critical edition of, and a full commentary on the "Assumption of Moses", a Palestine Jewish pseudepigraphon from the first century AD. The book consists of four parts: a critical edition; a description of the Latin used in the text; the history of research on As.Mos, including the author's conclusions with regard to the literary-historical questions; and a detailed commentary. This edition and commentary should greatly enhance the accessibility of one of the most important witnesses of first-century Judaism, the matrix of earliest Christianity.
