Apocalypse of Zephaniah
The Apocalypse of Zephaniah (or ''Apocalypse of Sophonias'') is an ancient pseudepigraphic text (one whose claimed authorship is unfounded) attributed to the Biblical Zephaniah and so associated with the Old Testament, but not regarded as scripture by Jews or any Christian group. It was rediscovered and published at the end of 19th century. The canonical Book of Zephaniah has much mystical and apocalyptic imagery, and this apocalyptic-style text deals with a similar subject.
==Manuscript Tradition==
The existence of the ''Apocalypse of Zephaniah'' was known from ancient texts (for example the Stichometry of Nicephorus) but it was considered lost. In 1881 two fragmentary manuscripts, probably coming from the White Monastery in Egypt, were bought by the Bibliothèque Nationale of Paris and first published by U. Bouriant in 1885. These fragments, together with others later bought by the Staatliche Museum of Berlin, were published in 1899 by Steindorff〔G. Steindorff ''Die Apokalypse des Elias, eine unbekannte Apokalypse und Bruchstucke der Sophonias-Apokalypse'' Leipzig 1899〕 who recognized in them fragments of the ''Apocalypse of Zephaniah'', of the ''Apocalypse of Elijah'' and of another text he called ''The Anonymous Apocalypse''. Schürer in 1899〔E. Shürer ''Dei Apokalypse des Elias'' in ''Theol. Literaturzeitung'', 1899, No. I. 4-8〕 showed that the Anonymous Apocalypse is most probably part of the Apocalypse of Zephaniah, but there is not unanimous consensus among scholars.〔Hedley Frederick Davis Sparks ''The Apocryphal Old Testament: edited by H.F.D. Sparks'' ISBN 0-19-826177-2 (1984)〕 The two manuscripts are written in Coptic dialects: the older〔Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale Copte 135, Berlin, Staatliche Museum P. 1862〕 (early fourth century CE) in Akhmimic, the other〔Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale Copte 135〕 (early fifth century CE) in Sahidic and very limited in extension. The original text was probably written in Greek.
To these fragments we could perhaps add a short quotation in a work of Clement of Alexandria (''Stromata'' V, 11:77) of a passage ascribed to Zephaniah that is not in the canonical Book of Zephaniah.
