Abstract

During the last few years Andrei Orlov has promoted the study of Slavonic Pseudepigrapha with many contributions. In addition to his book “The Enoch-Metatron Tradition” 2005 (see my review in DSD 16 [2009]: 145-149), he has published a series of articles (between 1998 and 2009) which cover a wide spectrum of texts and topics concerning the mystical experience in the Jewish and Christian traditions. A first collection of articles appeared in 2007 ( From Apocalypticism to Merkabah Mysticism: Studies in the Slavonic Pseudepigraphia ; JSJSup 114; Brill, Leiden); a second one followed in 2009 ( Selected Studies in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha ; SVTP 23; Brill, Leiden; see review below), accompanied by the present volume in the same year. Though all these essays have not really been inaccessible (in journals like VC, JSP, JJS, JSJ, Bib, Henoch and others), it is convenient to have them again now between two covers. The volume to be reviewed here contains twelve essays published between 2001 and 2009. Only the opening introduction has been written specifically for the purpose of this collection.
