That of Dillmann was in its time a most helpful and meritorious work, though his commentary is too brief, and his Ethiopic text less good than it might have been, owing to his somewhat faulty collation of the MSS. and his failure to use for needed.

purposes the Latin versions at his disposal.

For the present edition accordingly the Ethiopic MSS. have been collated and the text edited anew. Full account has therein been taken of the Latin versions and the Greek Legend, as well as of the

new

textual authorities

now

accessible

—Grenfell

and Hunt's fragmentary Greek text, and Bonwetsch's translation of the Slavonic version. Indeed, to make the textual evidence complete I have arranged the Greek text, the Latin versions, and the Latin translation of the Slavonic in parallel columns with the Ethiopic, and appended at their close the Greek Legend, which, being built on the Ascension, is an important witness to its text. The genealogical relations subsisting

between these authorities are

set forth in the Introduction.

Before leaving this subject I must record my deep obligations to Messrs. Grenfell and Hunt for placing at

my

service the proofs of their critical

and admirable edition of the valuable Greek fragment which they have recently discovered; to Professor Bonwetsch for his most helpful translation

of the Slavonic version, and to Father Mercati for a new and more accurate collation of the Vatican Latin fragments. For Father Mercati's help I am beholden to the kind offices of Mr. C. H. Turner, Fellow of Magdalen College. Finally, my best thanks are due to Messrs. A. & C. Black ior generously undertaking the publication of the above texts. The Ascension is a composite work, partly of Jewish, partly of Christian origin. The former element, which is derived from a Jewish work, the Martyrdom of Isaiah, possesses a value of its own, but it is the Christian element, which is based on two originally independent writings, the Testament of Hezekiah and the Vision of Isaiah, that chiefly engages our attention in the present work. These latter, particularly the Testament of Hezekiah, cast an illuminating, though at times lurid, light on certain outlying provinces of Christian belief and conduct towards the close of the first century. It bewails the fewness of the prophets, the prevalence of heresies,the sad declension in Christian character. It touches incidentally on the fact that there were

Church Guilds, whose

sole object

was

lievers in a state of readiness for the

keep beAdvent of

Christ, but expecting withal to experience first the dreaded coming of the Antichrist. Since the account

furnishes of the Antichrist is in some respects unique, I have brought the Introduction to a close it

with a Critical Essay on the Antichrist, Beliar, and Neronic myths as they appear in Jewish and Christian literature between aoo B.C. and 130 A. d. 17

INTRODUCTION § I.

Short Account of the Book.

The Ascension of Isaiah is a composite work of very great interest. In its present form we cannot be sure that it existed earlier than the latter half of the second century of our era^.

Its various

and of these there were

constituents, however,

three, circulated independently as early as the first ' Prom the third century onward the Ascension had an extensive circulation amongst Christian heretics. Thus it was

used by Hieraeas and the Archontici (see quotations from Epiphanius, p. 67) ; by the Ariana, to whom we owe the preservation of the Vatican fragments ; by the Massalians or Bogomils in the East, and the Cathari in the West. Its presence amongst the Massalians is attested by Euthymius Zigabenus (circ. iioo), 'EXC7X0S KcX $p[aiiPos T^s
