Beskrivning

Pseudo-Cyril of Jerusalem's Coptic homily On the Life and the Passion of Christ is in fact a collection of apocryphal stories. Roelof van den Broek offers a critical edition of this text, with introduction, translation and notes. The text provides information about the worldly crafts of the apostles and Jesus' external appearance; it also contains a peculiar chronology of Holy Week (implying that Jesus was arrested on Tuesday evening) and a long story about Pilate’s role in the trial of Jesus. The latter contains, int. al., letters by Pilate and Herod, discussions between Pilate and Jesus during a dinner they had together, and a description of the dreams of Pilate and his wife Procla and their explanation by Jesus.

Recensioner i media

"The text, in Coptic, has here a good English translation on each facing page with full explanatory footnotes. Van den Broek's familiarity with this field is manifest in these scholarly notes and in his extensive introduction." – J.K. Elliott, in: Novum Testamentum 56 (2014)
