Apocalypse of Baruch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are two quite different texts known as the Apocalypse of Baruch:
- The Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch, also known as 2 Baruch for convenience, is a Jewish pseudepigraphical text written in the late 1st century or early 2nd century, after the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in 70. It is named for the fact that it predominantly survives in Syriac manuscripts.
- The Greek Apocalypse of Baruch, also known as 3 Baruch for convenience, is a Jewish pseudepigraphical text written in the late 1st century or early 2nd century, after the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in 70. It is named for the fact that it predominantly survives in Greek manuscripts.
