Abstract

The apocryphal story of Christ's Passion in ms. Parisinus gr: 1021 is commonly regarded as a version of the Acts of Pilate. In fact, however, it is a recasting of the Narratio Josephi, whose author has drawn on the Acts of Pilate to expand the very hasty account of Christ's trial found in his main source. The Cyprus Passion Cycle of ms. Palatino- Vaticanus gr 367, fos 34-39 is based on this reworked text of the Narratio, and not on the Acts of Pilate. Thanks to this discovery, it is possible to put a new reconstruction and translation of the second part of the scene whose title is Peter's Betrayal.
