Brepols, Turnhout, 1989. XXVI,416p. Original brown gilt titled cloth. Series: Corpus Christianorum, Series Apocryphorum, 5. Nice copy. ?Prieur?s volumes on the Acts of Andrew are thorough, and very detailes, especially in their critical and textual analysis. Prieur?s first volume, Praefatio - Commentarius, describes the history of the text, the sources available to modern editors, and its likely construction. Other traditions concerning the life of Andrew are also considered. Part 2 of the first volume then discusses literary questions, such as author, sources, date, and includes a lengthy commentary on the contents of the speeches and prayers. About thirty pages of this section are devoted to Andrew?s famous prayer to the cross. Prieur also has a section dealing with the recurrent yet ambiguous sacrament found in the Apocrypha Acts, namely ?sealing? This is helpful too. A final section to this volume discusses the theological teaching and presuppositions of the apocryphal. This is a useful synthesis. Also of importance is the impressive list of alleged links between these Acts and those of Paul, Peter, Thomas and John (pp,385-406): such a list must be taken into account in any discussion of the literary interdependence and relative dates of these ancient Acts.? ((J.K. ELLIOTT in Novum Testamentum, 1991, pp.377-379).…

Store description
Scrinium Classical Antiquity, member of the Dutch Association of Antiquarian Booksellers (NVvA - ILAB), stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity.…
