Abstract
The apocryphon in question tells the story of Jesus in 40 to 80 (depending on the division system) episodes called « miracles ». Most of the text is a translation of the Arabic apocryphal Gospel of John, which was composed in the 10th/11th C. on the basis of the canonical gospels and apocrypha, as for instance the Protevangelium of James, the Acts of Pilate, an account of the Magi, the Cave of Treasures, the Apocalypse of Pseudo- Methodius. All the sources are reworked and together with several original « miracles », often involving animals, make up a new apocryphal narrative. To the Ethiopic translation (of the 14th C.) the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and the Letters of Abgar and Jesus were subsequently added.
