'''The Old Testament Apocrypha in the Slavonic Tradition''' (2011) is a volume edited by [[Lorenzo DiTommaso]] and [[Christfried Böttrich]]. 

==Abstract ==

"Written by an international group of expert scholars, the essays in this volume are devoted to the topic of biblical apocrypha, particularly the "Old Testament Pseudepigrapha," within the compass of the Slavonic tradition. The authors examine ancient texts, such as 2 Enoch and the Apocalypse of Abraham , which have been preserved (sometimes uniquely) in Slavonic witnesses and versions, as well as apocryphal literature that was composed within the rich Slavonic tradition from the early Byzantine period onwards. The volume's focus is textual, historical, and literary. Many of its contributions present editions and commentaries of important texts, or discuss aspects pertaining to the manuscript evidence."--Publisher description.

"Der Sammelband vereint die Arbeiten einer internationalen Gruppe von Spezialisten, die sich mit de Literatur der sogenannten "Alttestamentlichen Apokryphen und Pseudepigraphen" befassen. Dabei geht es ausschließlich um solche Texte, die im slavischen Kulturkreis überliefert worden sind. Schriften wie 2Henoch oder die Apokalypse Abrahams haben allein in diesem Kontext überlebt; andere wurden bearbeitet oder sind völlig neu konzipiert worden. Die Autoren thematisieren Fragen der Textgeschichte und gehen historischen Bezügen sowie literarischen Strukturen nach. Unter den Beiträgen befinden sich Editionen und Kommentare, Studien zu einzelnen Regionen, Methodenfragen, Textgattungen oder spezifischen Motiven."--Publisher description (German).
