The publication of ancient Syriac documents was a passion for Budge. In this two-volume set, volume 1 in Syriac and volume 2 in English, Budge offers the two documents entitled "e;The History of the Blessed Virgin Mary"e; and "e;The History of the Likeness of Christ which the Jews of Tiberias Made to Mock at."e; These two manuscripts represent the genre of New Testament apocrypha and originate in perhaps the late fourth century.
