Apocalypse of Baruch
From Free net encyclopedia
There are two quite different texts known as the Apocalypse of Baruch:
- The Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch, also known as 2 Baruch for convenience, is a Jewish pseudepigraphical text written in the late 1st century CE or early 2nd century CE, after the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in 70 CE. It is named for the fact that it predominantly survives in Syriac manuscripts.
- The Greek Apocalypse of Baruch, also known as 3 Baruch for convenience, is a Jewish pseudepigraphical text written in the late 1st century CE or early 2nd century CE, after the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in 70 CE. It is named for the fact that it predominantly survives in Greek manuscripts.
