Armenian Apocrypha Relating to Abraham

The volume presents a collection of stories about Abraham from fifteen unpublished late medieval Armenian manuscripts, now translated into English. These narratives explore various aspects of Abraham's life, including his youth, experiences in Egypt, the binding of Isaac, and interactions with Melchizedek. By incorporating elements from Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and other ancient traditions, the texts reveal a rich tapestry of mutual influence and borrowing across cultures over centuries, accompanied by commentaries and critical analysis.
