Record summary
An Ethiopic Apocalypse of Abraham is associated with apocryphal traditions concerning Abraham’s heavenly ascent, angelic guidance, cosmic judgment, and revelation. It is a useful lead for comparing how Ethiopian Christian readers received and preserved Abrahamic visionary literature alongside Enochic materials. Identification is complicated because several works and manuscript traditions circulate under similar Abrahamic titles, and the best-known Apocalypse of Abraham is preserved principally in Slavonic rather than Ge'ez. Researchers should establish the exact Ethiopic witness, edition, language, and catalog description before drawing conclusions about content or provenance.
