2 Baruch is a Jewish pseudepigraphical text thought to have been written in the late 1st century AD or early 2nd century AD, after the destruction of the Temple in AD 70. It is attributed to the biblical Baruch and so is associated with the Old Testament, but not regarded as scripture by Jews or by most Christian groups. It is included in some editions of the Peshitta, and is part of the Bible in the Syriac Orthodox tradition. It has 87 sections. ''2 Baruch'' is also known as the Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch. The Apocalypse proper occupies the first 77 chapters of the book. Chapters 78–87 are usually referred to as the Letter of Baruch to the Nine and a Half Tribes. ==Manuscript tradition== The ''Letter of Baruch'' had a separate and wider circulation than the rest of the book, and is attested in thirty-six Syriac manuscripts. The Apocalypse proper has been less widely available. One Latin excerpt was known from a quotation in Cyprian.〔Cyprian ''Testimoniorum adversus Judæos'' III.29 includes verses 48:36 48:33–34〕 A 4th–5th century AD Greek fragment was found among the Oxyrhynchus manuscripts.〔P. Oxy. 403, including verses 12:1–13:2 13:11–14:3〕 Two excerpts were known from 13th century lectionaries of the Syriac Orthodox Church.〔British Museum, Addit. 14.686, 1255 AD: verses 44:9–15; British Museum, Addit. 14.687, 1256 AD: verses 72:1–73:2; the same excerpts were also found in a 15th-century lectionary in Kerala〕 The full text of ''2 Baruch'' is now known from a 6th or 7th century AD Syriac manuscript discovered by Antonio Ceriani in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan in 1866.〔Manuscript "B. 21 inf" ff 264a-276a. A. Ceriani ''Apocalypsis Baruch (notae criticae)'' in ''Monumenta sacra et profana'' 1,2, Milano 1866 pag 73–98〕 An Arabic manuscript of the whole text was discovered in 1974. It is apparently a rather free translation from a Syriac text similar to the Milan manuscript. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2 Baruch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
