The Life of Adam and Eve in Greek: A Critical Edition

This work contains the first critical edition of an apocryphal narration of the life of Adam and Eve, based on all available manuscripts. Tromp, a lecturer on Judaism in the Greco-Roman period at Leiden University, summarizes the history of previous research on the text, and presents the extent manuscripts. He describes the grammatical characteristics of the manuscript's texts, then examines the genealogical relationships between them in an effort to reconstruct the writing's history of transmission in Greek.
