Description
The Book of the Cave of Treasures is a rich and fascinating work of apocryphal lore that frames the story of Jesus within a cosmic context. The 5th century author weaves together a narrative that spans centuries, exploring the lives of the Patriarchs, the Wind-Flood that overthrew Ur of the Chaldees, and the mysterious Priest-King Melchizedek. This annotated edition, translated from the Syriac by Sir E.A.Wallis Budge, offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Jewish and Christian traditions. The book provides a wealth of extra-Biblical details, including the origin of the Magi, the genealogy of Mary, and the secret burial of Adam at the 'navel of the world', a site later associated with the crucifixion of Christ. With 21 illustrations and extensive annotation, this edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Christian faith and the apocryphal traditions that underpin it. Published in 2018, this annotated edition of The Book of the Cave of Treasures is a significant contribution to the field of biblical studies and ancient mysteries.
