Introduction
The Slavonic Pseudepigrapha
Andrei A. Orlov
1. Transmission of Jewish Pseudepigraphical Texts in the Slavic Milieux
The majority of the Jewish extra-biblical materials that circulated in the Slavic lands came from Byzantium
which exercised an unmatched formative influence on the development of the Slavic literary heritage. An
important witness to the early existence and the scope of the Jewish extra-biblical writings circulated in the
Slavic lands can be found in the so-called the Lists of the True and False Books the indexes of
non-canonical works brought from Byzantium and then translated, revised, and incorporated in various
Slavonic collections, such as the Izbornik (Florilegium) of Svjatoslav (1073). The remarkable fluidity found in
these lists can be explained by the peculiarities of dissemination of the non-canonical materials in the Eastern
Orthodox environment in which the apocryphal texts and fragments were not sharply demarcated from
ideologically mainstream materials and were preserved alongside each other in the same collections. Many
ancient Jewish documents and traditions were adopted into the framework of Eastern Orthodoxy in a new
theological capacity. Thus, for example, some pseudepigraphical texts and fragments about Adam, Enoch,
Noah, J acob, Abraham, Moses, and other exalted patriarchs and prophets were often viewed as the lives of the
protological saints and were incorporated in hagiographical collections.
Eastern Orthodoxy represented a literary environment in which the J ewish pseudepigraphical texts and
fragments were usually transmitted as part of the larger historiographical, moral, hagiographical, liturgical,
and other collections that contained both ideologically marginal and mainstream materials. In these
compilations the Jewish pseudepigraphical materials were often rearranged, expanded, or abbreviated. There
were several types of collections by which the J ewish pseudepigraphical documents and fragments were
perpetuated in the Slavic milieu.
One type of the media that played a major role in dissemination of the Jewish pseudepigraphical traditions
were historiographical compendiums known as Palaeas (from Greek Palaea ancient). The Palaeas are
historiographies in which canonical biblical stories are mixed with non-canonical elaborations and
interpretations. The Slavic Orthodox literary heritage knew several versions of Palaeas," including the
Slavonic Pseudepigrapha http://www.marquette.edu/maqom/pseudepigrapha.html

so-called the Explanatory Palaea (Tolkovaja Paleja) which contained the biblical and Israelite history from
creation to the reign of Solomon embellished with the apocryphal stories about Adam, Eve, Abel, Cain, Noah,
Isaac, and other figures of primeval and Israelite history. Another important witness to this historiographical
genre was the so-called Chronographical Palaea (Hronograficheskaja Paleja) which included the extra-
canonical stories about Lamech, Melchizedek, Moses, and Solomon.
Another important category of historiographical media which served as a vehicle for the preservation of early
Jewish pseudepigraphical traditions were the chronographs. This category included the Slavonic translations
of the chronicles of universal history of such Byzantine authors as George Hamartolos, John Malalas, and
George Synkellos, along with anonymous chronographic compilations originated in the Slavic lands on the
basis of earlier sources. Similar to the Palaeas, the chronographs did not merely retell the canonical materials
but compiled extensive extracanonical additions dealing with the characters of biblical and Israelite history.
Finally, the Jewish pseudepigraphical texts and traditions were also included in the various collections of
moral and liturgical nature, such as the Great Menologia (Velikie Chetii Minei) and the Just Balance (Merilo
Pravednoe), among others.
Given the aforementioned peculiarities of the transmission of the Jewish pseudepigraphic materials in the
Christian historiographical, liturgical, and moral collections, the task of discerning the possible provenance
and purposes of the original pseudepigraphic texts and fragments is made very difficult by the numerous
editorial additions, abbreviations, and rearrangements. In recent years, however, several promising
methodological approaches to the study of Jewish texts preserved in the Slavonic language have come to
surface (Kulik, 2004). These studies help to distinguish between various levels of transmission and adaptation
of the early Jewish materials in the Slavic literary environment.
2. Major Clusters of the Pseudepigraphical Materials
A classic study by A. I. Jacimirskij, which still remains unsurpassed in its thoroughness, distinguishes more
than twenty clusters of pseudepigraphical works and fragments organized around major biblical characters.
(J acimirskij, 1921).
The majority of these pseudepigraphical materials were also preserved by other Christian traditions and
survived not only in Slavonic, but also in Greek, Latin, Syriac, Ethiopic, Georgian, Armenian, and other
languages of Christian East and West. Yet, among the great variety of the pseudepigraphical materials that
circulated in the Slavic literary environment, several documents survived solely in their Slavonic translations.
This distinctive class of writings includes 2 (Slavonic) Enoch, Apocalypse of Abraham, and the Ladder of
Jacob.
2 Enoch is a Slavonic translation of a J ewish pseudepigraphon traditionally dated to the first century C.E. The
central theme of the text is the celestial ascent of the seventh antediluvian patriarch Enoch through the seven
heavens and his luminous metamorphosis near the Throne of Glory. The book, which combines the features of
an apocalypse and a testament, can be divided into three parts. The first part (chapters 138) describes
Enochs heavenly journey which culminates in his encounter with the Deity who reveals to the seer the secrets
of creation. This part ends with Enochs return to earth where he must instruct his children in the celestial
knowledge received from God and the angels. The second part (chapters 3967) deals with Enochs
testamentary admonitions to his sons during his short visit to earth and ends with the second ascension of the
patriarch. The third part of the book (chapters 6873) describes the priestly functions of Enochs family and
the miraculous birth of Melchisedek, and ends with the Flood.
2 Enoch exists in longer and shorter recensions which differ not only in length but also in the character of the
text, and both of them preserve original material. The majority of scholars hold the opinion that the Slavonic
version was translated from Greek. The Semitisms found in various parts of the text point to the possibility of
the Semitic Vorlage behind the Greek version.
The Apocalypse of Abraham, another text preserved solely in its Slavonic translation, represents a J ewish
work probably composed in Palestine in the first centuries C.E. Some features of the text hint to the Semitic
Slavonic Pseudepigrapha http://www.marquette.edu/maqom/pseudepigrapha.html

Vorlage, although the Greek stage of transmission should not be excluded. The Slavonic text of the
apocalypse can be divided into two parts. The first part represents an aggadic elaboration of the story of
Abraham's rejection of the idols. The second, apocalyptic, part depicts the patriarch's ascension to heaven
where he is accompanied by his angelic guide, Yahoel, and becomes initiated into the heavenly and
eschatological mysteries. According to some scholars the two parts might have originally existed
independently, yet in the pseudepigraphon they appear synthesized into a coherent unity, sharing common
theological themes.
The Ladder of Jacob, which has also been preserved in its entirety solely in Slavonic, circulated in the
Slavonic environment as a part of the Explanatory Palaea where the text underwent extensive editing and
rearrangement. Despite its afterlife inside the compendium of heterogeneous materials and its long history of
transmission in Greek and Slavonic milieux, the pseudepigraphon seems to have preserved several early
traditions that can be safely placed within the Jewish environment of the first century CE. Scholars propose
that the Slavonic Ladder of Jacob is most likely derived from its Greek variant, which in turn appears to have
been translated from Hebrew or Aramaic. The content of the work is connected with J acobs dream about the
ladder and the interpretation of his vision.
Besides these three works available exclusively in Slavonic, the Slavic Orthodox literary heritage has
preserved a substantial number of texts and fragments attested elsewhere in other languages, including Greek.
One of the most extensive clusters of the J ewish traditions circulated in the Slavic literary milieux includes
materials dealing with the stories of creation and the fall of the protoplasts. The impressive bulk of materials
pertaining to the story of Adam and Eve is represented by the Slavonic Life of Adam and Eve, a Slavonic
version of the primary Adam books. It contains some material absent in other versions of the primary Adam
books, including the story of Satan's second deception of Adam and Eve and the legend of the contract or
cheirograph that Satan made with the protoplasts. The Slavonic Vita is a translation from Greek and exists in
longer and shorter recensions.
Another cluster of important Adamic materials circulated in the Slavic environment includes a fragment
known as the Adam Octipartite, the so-called Sataniel Text, and the Story of God's Creation of Adam. The
Adam Octipartite contains the tradition about the creation of Adams body from eight elements. The Sataniel
text is an Adamic fragment interpolated into the Russian manuscripts of the Slavonic version of 3 Baruch. It
attests to the traditions of Sataniel's refusal to venerate Adam and his deception of Eve by using the serpent as
a proxy. The Story of God's Creation of Adam exhibits strikingly dualistic tendencies, portraying the creation
of the protoplast as the work both God and Satan.
A number of significant early Jewish traditions pertaining to the story of the protoplasts were also
incorporated in the Christian Adamic writings circulated in the Slavic milieux, such as the Legend about the
Wood of the Cross, the Struggle of the Archangel Michael with Sataniel, the Legend of the Tiberian Sea, the
Discourse of the Three Hierarchs, and the Homily of Adam to Lazarus in the Hell. Although these
macroforms have distinctive Christian features, it is clear that they contain a wealth of early J ewish
pseudepigraphical traditions. The themes of creation are also reflected in the fragments Seventy Names of God
and About All Creation, both published by N. S. Tihonravov (Tihonravov, 1863).
The cluster of unique traditions about the Flood is represented by the Enochic Fragment about the Two
Tablets from the Historical Palaea and the Noachic narrative known as the Fragment about the Flood.
Several pseudepigraphical works preserved in the Slavic milieux are also known to scholars from their other
versions in other languages. These pseudepigraphons include the Slavonic versions of the Testament of
Abraham, Joseph and Aseneth, Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, Testament of Job, Life of Moses,
Ascension of Isaiah, 3 Baruch, 4 Baruch, Apocalypse of Zosimus, Ahiqar, and the Word of the Blessed
Zerubabel. Yet despite the existence of the Greek and other versions of these works, the Slavonic materials
sometimes attest to more ancient readings missing in other extant translations of the documents.
There are also quite extensive clusters of works and fragments pertaining to the stories of David, Solomon,
Elijah and Daniel. However the large bulk of the materials pertaining to these clusters appear to derive from
Slavonic Pseudepigrapha http://www.marquette.edu/maqom/pseudepigrapha.html

later medieval Byzantine circles.
3. Slavonic Pseudepigrapha and the Bogomils
There have been a number of studies that attempted to explicate the theological tenets found in the Slavonic
translations of some pseudepigraphical works, such as 2 Enoch, 3 Baruch, and the Slavonic Life of Adam and
Eve, through their alleged connections with the Bogomil movement, a dualistic sect that flourished in the
Balkans in the middle ages. These studies argued that the large number of J ewish pseudepigraphical writings
preserved in Slavonic appear to contain Bogomil interpolations (Ivanov, 1925). Some scholars have even
proposed the possibility that works like 2 Enoch were composed in the Slavonic language by the Bogomils
between the 12th and 15th centuries C.E. (Maunder, 1918). Recent scholarship however is increasingly
skeptical of such radical proposals and generally finds little or no connection between the aforementioned
pseudepigraphons and the Bogomil movement (Turdeanu, 1981; Andersen, 1987).
