Eastern Christian Apocalyptic Tradition in the early Muslim period: Pseudo-Methodius and Pseudo-Athanasius.
The present work includes the edition and the English version of two Christian apocalypses from the early Islamic period. The first text is the apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius, one of the most influential apocalypses ever written. Its influence in Byzantium and the Latin West have been known for a long time...it also set the pace for many of the later apocalypses produced in the Syriac speaking world, and to some extent, even in Egypt and Ethiopia.
The second text, the Sahidic apocalypse of Pseudo-Athanasius, is probably the earliest surviving apocalyptic text from Egypt which has to do with the Muslims.
