The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew is one of the most important witnesses
in Western Europe to apocryphal stories about the lives of Mary,
Joseph, Jesus, and Mary's parents, Anna and Joachim. As a
bestseller of mainstream medieval Christianity, this Latin
apocryphon is a keystone in the explosion of apocryphal literature
in the Middle Ages. Despite its apocryphal status, the Gospel of
Pseudo-Matthew remained both popular and influential throughout the
Middle Ages and into the early modern period, as its popularity and
influences may be traced in Christian literature, visual arts,
liturgy, and theological perspectives still revered by Roman
Catholic theologians. The gospel is also a significant work for
considering the history of monasticism and the cult of the Virgin
Mary. This book presents the first English translation of the
Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew with a full introduction and commentary,
as well as translations of related works with accompanying
commentaries.
