Description
by Margaret Dunlop Gibson (Editor)
Hidden histories, lost voices: Apocrypha Arabica opens a rare window on the shadowlands of early Christian storytelling. Within these pages, Margaret Dunlop Gibson's critical edition and translation brings together a remarkable anthology of Christian apocrypha, including the enigmatic Kitab Al Magall (The Book of the Rolls), the mystical Story of Aphikia, and the legendary tale of Cyprian and Justa in both Arabic and Greek. Each text pulses with miracle stories and the vibrant lives of apocryphal saints, revealing the spiritual imagination of medieval Christian Arabia and late antique Christianity. This volume is more than a collection; it is a bridge between worlds. Readers will find a vital resource for patristics research and religious studies, with authoritative Arabic and Greek texts presented side by side. The legends of Cyprian and Justina, woven through both languages, illuminate the spread of Christian ideas and the enduring power of pseudepigrapha and apocryphal acts. Gibson's scholarship preserves the authentic voice of Christian Arabic literature, making these once-obscure manuscripts accessible for the first time to modern audiences. Every page invites discovery, whether you are a casual explorer of early Christian miracle stories or a collector seeking a definitive reference edition. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Apocrypha Arabica stands as a cultural treasure, offering new insight into the spiritual and literary currents that shaped the Christian East. For anyone fascinated by the crossroads of faith, history, and storytelling, this is a sourcebook not to be missed.
