Record summary
The Apocalypse of the Virgin presents Mary as receiving or witnessing revelations about the fate of souls, punishments, judgment, and intercession. Greek, Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopic, and other traditions preserve related but not identical forms, making the work useful for examining Marian authority and the development of Christian afterlife imagery. Dating, textual relationships, and the boundaries between separate recensions are disputed. Researchers should identify the language and manuscript version under study rather than assume that all “Apocalypse of the Virgin” references describe one text.
