Abstract

A re-written Greek version of parts of Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah. It probably dates from the 2nd century BC. (Since they would be mainly repetitions, no entries from I Esd. have been included in the Apocrypha section.) An apocalyptic work, with its main part consisting of seven visions attributed to Ezra. It was written in Hebrew or Aramaic, probably at the end of the Ist century AD after the destruction of Jerusalem. (It has not been necessary to include any entries from 2 Esd. in this section.) A tale about a Jewish captive in Babylon who was blinded and had his sight miraculously restored. It was written in Hebrew or Aramaic about 200 BC.
