Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha and Armenian Studies. Collected Papers: Volume III

This volume comprises a collection of papers by Michael E. Stone, written

over a period of 35 years. Stone is a leading scholar in two different

fields of research, the Jewish literature of the Second Temple period

including the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Armenian Studies. So this collection

includes essays relating to the origins and nature of the Apocryphal

literature and its relationship with the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as more

specific studies devoted to themes that have interested Stone throughout

his career, including Messianism, 4 Ezra, Adam and Eve, and Aramaic Levi

Document. His Armenian interests have embraced the Armenian Biblical text,

Armenian pilgrimage to and presence in the Holy Land and Armenian

paleography and epigraphy. Papers included in the volumes, some of which

were originally published in obscure venues, touch on all these themes.
