About this ebook series
The Apostolic Romances pickups on the sojourns of Christ's twelve apostles following their disappearance in the Acts of the Apostles. Many of these works are largely fragmentary, as they rarely survive in a complete form. Moreover, there are various accounts given of the travels and encounters of the apostles in different ancient tongues. Most commonly they are in Greek. However, a large body of these works also survive in: Coptic, Syriac, Arabic, Latin, and Armenian. Attempting to comprehend their historical value is a challenge, as they can represent a legitimate historic memory or euhemerism about the life of the specific apostles, and at times, they are fanciful embellishments or totally mythological in scope.
