Klappentext
"The Ascension of Isaiah imagines Isaiah's tour of the seven heavens, the descent of Christ through the divine realms in the form of an angel, and the death of the prophet at the hands of King Hezekiah's wicked son, Manasseh. This enigmatic work falls into two main parts: the martyrdom of Isaiah (chapters 1-5) and the vision of Isaiah (chapters 6-11). There is no consensus about the date, composition, or provenance of the Ascension of Isaiah. A 1996 monograph on the text stresses the unity of the work and locates it in the second century CE, probably in Syria. 1 This all, however, remains disputed. The entire text of the Ascension of Isaiah likely once existed in Greek, but the only extant Greek text is a papyrus, probably from the fifth or sixth century, which preserves 2.4-4.4 with lacunae. A Latin codex preserves 2.14-3.13 and 7.1-19 (=Lat1), and there are also smaller fragments in Coptic. Fortunately, the entire text of the Ascension of Isaiah survives in Classical Ethiopic (Ge'ez). The Ethiopic translation was likely made from Greek sometime during the Axumite period (4th century-ca. 900)"--
