About this ebook
This 5th century apocryphal text gives insight into the early Christian tradition regarding the life of John the Baptist and the subsequent fate of his earthly remains. Moreover, the ancient Syriac author gives a more detailed account of the death of his parents, something that is missing from most hagiographical accounts of his life. The surviving manuscripts are composed in Syriac, but claim to be from the pen of the Coptic priest, Serapion.
