Summary

Following the critique of early translations of the Epistula Apostolorum in Chapter 1, this chapter consists in a new translation which normally follows the much older Coptic manuscript where available and uses the Ethiopic version to fill in the many larger or smaller Coptic lacunae. Greek loanwords included in the Coptic text are noted. A critical apparatus lists variants between the Ethiopic and the Coptic and/or within the Ethiopic manuscript tradition, presented in English translation. In addition to the four Ethiopic manuscripts collated by Guerrier for his edition of 1912, variants from four previously unedited Ethiopic manuscripts have been incorporated. Links are provided from the critical apparatus to the extensive ‘Additional Notes on Text and Translation’ in the final part of the present work, where key decisions are explained and justified.
