Synopsis

This book reveals the life and times of Adam and Eve after they were expelled from the Garden of Eden, up to the time when Cain killed his brother Abel. It covers where they went, where they lived, and their various troubles and temptations, including those coming from Satan. It is interesting because it provides one with more information to work with beyond the standard Biblical account. It is important because it has survived for so long, mostly in other languages, including Arabic and Ethiopic. It seems to have been written a few centuries before Christ, and parts of it can be found in the "Koran" of Islam and the Jewish "Talmud".

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book tells much that will be new to most readers—was probably written in Arabic in Egypt; whence it was taken farther south, and translated into Ethiopic. At all events no Greek or Egyptian original of it, is, as yet, known to exist; neither does it betray the least vestige of Hellenism.
The Ethiopic text is irregularly divided in sections,—some of great length, owing to the subject in hand,—I thought more convenient to divide my translation into Books, and chapters, some of which have the same headings as those given in the text.

• Book 1—Takes in the whole life of Adam and Eve, from the day they left Eden; their dwelling in the Cave of Treasures; their trials and temptations; Satan's manifold apparitions to them, and the Word of God coming to comfort and help them. Then the birth of Cain, of Abel, and of their twin sisters; Cain's love for his own twin sister, Luluwa, whom Adam and Eve wished to join to Abel; hence Cain's hatred and murder of his brother; and Adam's sorrow and death.
• Book 2—Gives the history of the patriarchs who lived before the Flood; the dwelling of the children of Seth on the Holy Mountain—Mount Hermon—until they were lured by Genun and by the daughters of Cain, to come down from the mountain; and as "fallen angels," to lose God's love for them. Then Cain's death, when slain by Lamech the blind; and the lives of the other patriarchs, until the birth of Noah.
• Book 3—Gives the history of the building of the ark; of the Flood, of the settlement of Noah and his family; and of the carrying of the body of Adam to "the Middle of the Earth;" the growth of idolatry under Nimrod; the destruction of idols; and the call of Abraham.
• Book 4—Gives a short history of the patriarchs, judges and kings, from Abraham to the coming of Christ.
