Alphabetical Reference List For Old Testament
Apocrypha And Pseudepigrapha
This list attempts to give at least one text and one translation for every Old Testament apocryphal and pseudepigraphal work which is likely to be encountered by anyone doing Old Testament or New Testament research,1 and also to list an introduction, an estimated date2 and (for Greek works) a concordance.3
This is not intended as an exhaustive list of texts, translations and studies. It is simply a reference list to the most conveniently located texts and translations, and a selective list of a few recent studies. It is intended as a preliminary aid to research in an important area that all but specialists find quite confusing.
Major entries are found under the name of the person given in the title of the work (e.g., “Testament of Abraham” is listed under “Abraham”). All other likely variations of the title are then included in the single alphabetical list, so that any work can be found quickly no matter how many different titles it might have.
