The Ethiopic Jannes and Jambres and the Greek Original

Abstract

Publication of a fragment of Jannes and Jambres in Ge‘ez, together with new editions of relevant parts of the Greek papyri and observations on the reconstruction of the book. // A recently identified fragment of an Ethiopic translation of the Old Testament apocryphon of Jannes and Jambres sheds much new light on the book, of which we are preparing a complete integrated edition with English translation. We present below (I) the editio princeps of the Ethiopic text and (II) revised editions of related parts of the Greek, including several new joins, followed by a brief account of the structure of the work in the light of the evidence now available.
