The History of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the History of the Likeness of Christ. The Syriac Texts Edited with English Translations. Volume 1

The publication of ancient Syriac documents was a passion for Budge. In this two-volume set, volume 1 in Syriac and volume 2 in English, Budge offers the two documents entitled "The History of the Blessed Virgin Mary" and "The History of the Likeness of Christ which the Jews of Tiberias Made to Mock at." These two manuscripts represent the genre of New Testament apocrypha and originate in perhaps the late fourth century.
