520    This volume examines the transmission of biblical 
       pseudepigraphic literature and motifs from their largely 
       Jewish cultural contexts in Palestine to developing 
       gnostic milieux of Syria and Mesopotamia, particularly 
       that one lying behind the birth and growth of Manichaeism.
       It surveys biblical pseudepigraphic literary activity in 
       the late antique Near East, devoting special attention to 
       revelatory works attributed to the five biblical 
       forefathers who are cited in the Cologne Mani Codex : Adam,
       Seth, Enosh, Shem, and Enoch. The author provides a 
       philological, literary, and religio-historical analysis of
       each of the five pseudepigraphic citations contained in 
       the Codex , and offers hypotheses regarding the original 
       provenance of each citation and the means by which these 
       traditions have been adapted to their present context. 
       This study is an important contribution to the scholarly 
       reassessment of the roles played by Second Temple Judaism,
       Jewish Christian sectarianism, and classical gnosis in the
       formulation and development of Syro-Mesopotamian religious
       currents.
