Fascinating reading. One hardly knows whether to regard these as myths, hoaxes, lost writings or what. As one who is not a scholar of the ancient world and also is not a believer in any god, spirits, fairies, etc., I regard all writings as simple human creations. As for when these were produced, I leave it to others. ( )

Again, despite the sensational title, this is just an old translation of the OT apocrypha. ( )

Tenth printing; reprint of the edition of 1927. Claims to be 'indebted to The Apocrypha and Pseudopigrapha (R.H. Charles), The Odes and Psalms of Solomon (Rendel Harris), and The Book of Adam and Eve (S.C. Malan), published in England in 1882.' Is this text perhaps simply stolen from those named and prestigious translators? Bound with: The lost books of the Bible. ( )
