"This book assembles various Abraham accounts for the first time, including English translations of Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, Latin, Persian, Coptic, and Egyptian texts. The extracts included in this book follow, as nearly as possible, a chronological arrangement within the different traditions. The first section deals with the earliest traditions about Abraham and includes selections from both early Jewish and pagan sources. This is followed by sections on Jewish, Christian, and Muslim sources, then a section in which other traditions are grouped. A series of appendixes includes materials related to the study of Abraham." [Editor]
