Reviews
""All in all, not only Michael Stone but also the editors and publisher should be congratulated with this unique and important volume that is a Fundgrube of new materials and approaches to apocryphal books. It offers extremely learned chapters, and includes many sections of texts in the original languages, printed in the ancient scripts (Hebrew, Syriac, Greek, Armenian, Old Slavonic, Coptic, Ethiopic, Arabic and Old Irish). Beautiful illustrations, many in color, enrich the book, and detailed indices (modern authors, mediaeval manuscripts discussed and ancient and mediaeval sources) add significantly to its usefulness for specialists working on particular aspects of the Embroidered Bible."" - Jan Willem van Henten, in: JSJ, 2019
