In the course of this work 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. Together with four other scholars, Professor Cross
explores the implications of this discovery, in the field of
Anglo-Saxon studies. 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 only 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.
