Books Of Adam <ref name="term_410" /> | |||
<p> | <p> Books pretending to give the life and deeds of Adam and other Old [[Testament]] worthies existed in abundance among the [[Jews]] and the early Christians. The [[Talmud]] speaks of a Book of Adam, which is now lost, but which probably furnished some of the material which appears in early [[Christian]] writings. The <i> Vita [[Adami]] </i> was translated from the Ethiopic by [[Dillmann]] (1853), and into English by Malan ( <i> The Book of Adam and [[Eve]] </i> , London, 1882). The <i> Testament of Adam </i> is a portion of the <i> Vita Adami </i> (published by Renan in 1853) and so probably is the <i> ''''' Diathḗkē tō̇n Prōtoplástōn ''''' </i> (Fabricius, II, 83). See [[Apocalyptic Literature]]; [[Apocrypha]] . </p> | ||
