In the course of this book Professor Cross presents the discovery
of the actual manuscript source for the Old English versions of two
biblical apocrypha, The Gospel of Nichodemus and The Avenging of
the Saviour. In collaboration with four other scholars, Professor
Cross explores the implications of this discovery. Here, parallel
editions of the relevant Latin and Old English texts are given,
together with modern English translations, and detailed discussion
outlines the background to the Latin texts, and to the manuscript
which contains them. The assembled material provides an insight not
simply into the transmission of two apocryphal texts, but also into
the mind of the single Anglo-Saxon translator who, it is argued,
struggled in his own idiosyncratic fashion to make two badly spelt
and incomplete Latin originals his own.
