| Publisher Description: CONNECTING ROMAN HISTORY WITH THE DEATH OF CHRIST AT JERUSALEM. These letters occur in a Syriac manuscript, of the sixth or seventh century, in the British Museum. Dr. Tischendorf states in his Apocalypses Apocryph (Prolegg. p. 56) that he has a copy of the same in Greek from a Paris manuscript, of which he says "scripture satis differt, non item argumentum." The letters are followed by a few extracts which seem to have been added by some copyist, although they are followed by the subscription to Pilate's letter. We suppose that by Justinus, we are to understand Justus of Tiberias of whom Josephus speaks as a historian of his tine. We cannot venture an opinion favorable to the genuineness of this extract, because Photius says Justus did not mention Christ. By Theodorus, we understand the Emperor Tiberius. The question and answer agree in sense with what is read in the "Anaphora," or response of Pilate. |
