"Second only to the Apocrypha, the Pseudepigrapha is the most important body of non-canonical literature we possess from ancient Judaism. These writings shed much light upon theological development between the testaments, and provide invaluable historical, cultural, and spiritual information. Contains the Book of Jubilees, the Letter of Aristeas, the Books of Adam and Eve, the Martyrdom of Isaiah, 1 Enoch, the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, the Sibylline Oracles, the Assumption of Moses, 2 Enoch, 2 Baruch, 3 Baruch, 4 Ezra, The Psalms of Solomon, 4 Maccabees, Pirke Aboth, and the Story of Ahikar"--Page 4 of cover.
Excerpt from The Ascension of Isaiah: Translated From the Ethiopic Version, Which, Together With the New Greek Fragment, the Latin Versions and the Latin Translation of the Slavonic, Is Here Published in Full A new edition of the Ascension has long been needed. That of Dillmann was in its time a most helpful and meritorious work, though his commentary is too brief, and his Ethiopic text less good than it might have been, owing to his somewhat faulty collation of the MSS. and his failure to use for critical purposes the Latin versions at his disposal. For the present edition accordingly the Ethiopic MSS. have been collated and the text edited anew. Full account has therein been taken of the Latin versions and the Greek Legend, as well as of the new textual authorities now accessible - Grenfell and Hunt's fragmentary Greek text, and Bonwetsch's translation of the Slavonic version. Indeed, to make the textual evidence complete I have arranged the Greek text, the Latin versions, and the Latin translation of the Slavonic in parallel columns with the Ethiopic, and appended at their close the Greek Legend, which, being built on the Ascension, is an important witness to its text. The genealogical relations subsisting between these authorities are set forth in the Introduction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

More than seventy documents, ranging in date from the early eleventh century to the early fourteenth century and representing both orthodox and heretical viewpoints are included.
In the second half of the twelfth century, the Catholic Church became convinced that dualist heresy was taking root within Christian society and that it was particularly strong in southern France. The nature and extent of this heresy and the reaction of the Church to the perceived threat have been the focus of extensive research since the mid-nineteenth century, research which has become especially intense in the last decade. Malcolm Barber's second edition of The Cathars (which first appeared in 2000) brings readers up-to-date with the challenges to previous conclusions of recent scholarship. At the same time, the wider implications of the subject remain relevant, most importantly the fundamental questions raised by the belief in the existence of evil, the ethical problems presented by the use of coercion to suppress forms of dissent believed to threaten the social and religious fabric, and the distortion of the past to underpin present-day policies and arguments.
