Much has been written on the Apocryphal Acts of Thomas since the work of
Lipisus, Wright, and Bonnet. However, many of the crucial questions
concerning the text remain still today open: When was the text composed?
In which language was it written, Greek or Syriac? And most
importantly, where in the ancient world did the text see the light? Also
the nature and structure of the text remain in doubt: What is the
nature of the text we have at our disposal? And how was it transmitted
throughout the Middle Ages? The present volume intends to provide
answers at least to some of these questions. Its title,
New Trends in the Research on the Apocryphal
Acts of Thomas, however, shows that it at the same time intends to
break new ground in the analysis of the text, revising some old, vexed
problems.
