medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Though the earliest copy of this text is 6th century, I believe the Epistle to the Laodicdeans was commonly part of the medieval Latin Vulgate. Remember, you are hearing this from a country song writer, with a fraction of the knowledge of any of the list regulars.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

I once found a copy of the Epistle to the Laodicdeans inserted into a Bible manuscript at the Ambrosiana. It was included with the accepted letters of Paul. It is a pastiche of excerpts from the Pauline corpus.

Yes, the Gospel of Nicodemus has been rightly classified as "non canonical". However, if we remember that in the wait for the decision of the Council of Trent, in 1546, significant variants, the habit of copying books separately, the expense of books, the illiteracy of both laymen and clergy were all fragmenting the wieght of the label "canonical". In the meanwhile, there were favorite non-canonical books like "The Gospel of Nicodemus" which gained status. The number of copies of this work are a witness.

Also known as the "Gospel of Nicodemus" -- "apocryphal" in the sense of "non-canonical" in major church traditions. Did any group treat it otherwise?

Ah!  So it is TRULY apocryphal.

Thank you.  I hadn't actually considered that possibility!

I am not sure, but I believe it (also called the "Acts of Pilate") would be a part of a New Testament apocrypha. I don't see it included in the medieval Vulgate, where it is translated (French or English), it is frequently alone or with non-biblical texts.

This is a lovely resource.  Thank you, Dr. Peckham.

I have a question for clarity, please.  One of your headings refers to translations including a book from The Apocrypha.  By "Apocrypha" do you mean the deutero-canonical books?

Thank you
