• Summary:"The apocryphal Apocalypse of Paul (Visio Pauli) plunges us right into the heart of early-Christian conceptions of heaven and hell. Its vivid eyewitness account of otherworldly punishment and reward was translated into many different languages and inspired numerous later authors, among whom Dante. This book offers a re-edition and English translation of the ancient Coptic version. An exhaustive commentary makes the text accessible and situates it in the time and place where it was written, fourth-century Egypt. As this new study shows, the Coptic version is by far the best available witness of the original Apocalypse of Paul"-- Provided by publisher.
  
• Notes:"The Coptic text of the Apocalypse of Paul is transmitted in a single, incomplete Sahidic manuscript, a parchment codex copied in the tenth century in Esna, in southern Upper Egypt, and now kept in the British Library in London under call numbers Or. 7023 and Or. 6806A"--Chapter 1.
  Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
