The various stories collected as part of the broad stream of Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles have a complex translational and transmission history. As a result, the various translations of these stories are important because they may contain early strata of the texts. In an attempt to make one such translation more available, Paul Vetter presents here a critical text of the Armenian version of the “Gnostic Martyrdom of Peter.” Vetter supplements the text with a critical apparatus with variant readings from the four manuscripts used in the collation. Vetter also includes the Greek version of this text published by R.A. Lipsius. Appended to this article is Vetter’s previous announcement of his intention to publish the text of the Armenian Apocryphal Acts and his detailed description of the manuscripts used in the project.

The Vision of Theophilus

A critical edition of a fragmentary Arabic manuscript (Mingana Chr. Arab. 18), together with a study which suggests that the three Arabic versions do not represent three different texts, but rather three versions all drawing on the same original text.

The History of John the Son of Zebedee

Many stories and legends about John the son of Zebedee have survived from antiquity. He was known as one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ, as the “Beloved Disciple” and author of the Gospel of John, and even as the recipient of the divine revelation in the Apocalypse. Later traditions, such as the Greek Acts of John, told of how John traveled to Ephesus and converted people to Christianity. John was an important figure to Catholic Christians, to Gnostic Christians, and to Manichaeans. He also found a distinct place among Syriac Christians who preserved their own story about John’s acts in Ephesus. William Wright first introduced the History of John in 1871 using two manuscript witnesses. Since then, more witnesses have been discovered, but little work has been done on this native Syriac apocryphon. The present volume brings together all of the known Syriac witnesses to the History of John with a new translation and includes, for the first time, a critical discussion of the history, provenance, and importance of this text for the study of Syriac Christianity and Christian Apocrypha more generally.
