Description
The overriding importance of Sunday as a Christian feast day is emphasized by many apocryphal and pseudepigraphic texts from Late Antiquity, above all the broadly received Letter from Heaven. This volume presents versions of this letter together with other texts, partly based on a new edition, including introduction, translation, and commentary.
