The Vision of Ezra

The editors of The Online Critical Pseudepigrapha are pleased to announce the publication of a new document, the Vision of Ezra. Although its provenance is uncertain, this Latin text is closely related to 4 Ezra (2 Esdras) and other Ezra pseudepigrapha. This new edition, edited by Ian W. Scott and David M. Miller, reproduces the text of manuscript Vat. Barberini lat. 2318. This manuscript, first published in 1984 by P.-M. Bogaert, is the fullest form of the document to survive. Since this manuscript was not available during the preparation of Charlesworth's Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, it contains material which is not included in the standard English translation by J. R. Mueller and G. A. Robbins. If Bogaert is correct, though, this manuscript represents the oldest extant form of the Vision of Ezra. This OCP edition of the Latin text is published without critical apparatus, but including the emendations suggested by Bogaert.

Revised Cleodemus Malchus

Ian Scott has completed the proofreading of the Cleodemus Malchus fragment (www.purl.org/net/ocp/ClMal.html) and has added an expanded introductory page for the text.

Updated 2 Baruch

Ian Scott has completed revisions to the Greek fragments of 2 (Syriac) Baruch (www.purl.org/net/ocp/2Bar.html). These revisions include a newly expanded introductory page, as well as a new layout of the Greek fragments which shows more clearly how the lines appear on the recto and verso of P.Oxy. 403.

Updated Aristobulus

Ian Scott has just completed an updated version of Aristobulus (www.purl.org/net/ocp/Aristob.html). This update includes an expanded introductory page with full bibliographic information for the published sources of the Aristobulus fragments. The Grammateus reader interface has also been upgraded to allow the poetic quotations in the Artapanus fragments to be displayed in proper versified form.
