Biblical Apocrypha as Medieval World Literature
This article examines biblical apocrypha as cases for reconsidering literary history concerning the wider scope of the global Middle Ages. The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew and Fifteen Signs before Judgment show how apocrypha were dynamic in the early medieval period, as they participated in a complex network of transmission across Afro-Eurasia
History of the Study of Apocrypha in Early Medieval England
Literature written in England between about 500 and 1100 CE attests to a wide range of traditions, although it is clear that Christian sources were the most influential. Biblical apocrypha feature prominently across this corpus of literature, as early English authors clearly relied on a range of extra-biblical texts and traditions related to works under the umbrella of what have been called “Old Testament Pseudepigrapha” and “New Testament/Christ…
A New Witness to the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew
This article presents a study of a witness to the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew in Vercelli, Biblioteca Capitolare LXXIII, which has not previously been identified in scholarship on the apocryphon. This manuscript brings the total number of surviving, identified witnesses to 198. Even more, because the text of Pseudo-Matthew in Vercelli LXXIII is part of the P1a textual branch of witnesses, this identification allows for a reconsideration of the textu…
Apocrypha and Fictionality
Perhaps the greatest benefit of Catherine Gallagher's claims about fictionality for scholars of premodern literature is that her work has sparked critical reassessments of fictionality long before the eighteenth century.1 Since scholars like Monika Fludernik, Julie Orlemanski, and Michelle Karnes have recently retheorized such concepts in relation to premodern literature, scholars now have new starting points for inquiry.2 The following reflectio…
Id est, crux Christi’
The celestial cross is a prominent motif in Old English texts, and, rather than deriving from a single specific source, the figure provides a case study with implications for understanding the variety of backgrounds that often contribute to Anglo-Saxon conceptions of specific literary images. Tracing the development of the motif from its early Christian origins to its role in Anglo-Saxon England reveals a persistent correlation to eschatology, th…
