Commentary |
Text 1: The Apocalypse of Esdras is best preserved in the Ethiopian translation. It must have existed in Greek and is thought to be a translation from Hebrew, written at the end of the 1st. c. AD, but neither versions are extant except for late retroversions from Latin. The text was not represented on any of the Dead Sea scrolls, neither were texts 2 and 4. There are known about 21 MSS of text 1, mostly 17th - 19th c. The present codex is possibly the oldest surviving MS of the text. |
