THE SYRIAC LIFE OF JOHN THE BAPTIST
This 5th century apocryphal text gives insight into the early Christian
tradition regarding the life of John the Baptist and the subsequent fate
of his earthly remains. Moreover, the ancient Syriac author gives a
more detailed account of the death of his parents, something that is
missing from most hagiographical accounts of his life. The surviving
manuscripts are composed in Syriac, but claim to be from the pen of the
Coptic priest, Serapion.
