The Penitence of Adam: An Apocryphal Armenian Adam Book -- Electronic Version, with manuscript photographs, texts, translations and concordance, edited by Michael E. Stone Posted with the assistance of a grant from the Israel Science Foundation

 

The Life of Adam and Eve: The Biblical Story in Judiasm and Christianity -- The Life of Adam and Eve is an apocryphal story about the experience of the first human couple after their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Of the numerous apocryphal works that were written regarding Adam and Eve in the ancient world, this text certainly has pride of place. Not only was its influence in antiquity quite evident and widespread but the tale also enjoyed enormous popularity in the medieval world as well. Gary A. Anderson, The University of Virginia  and Michael E. Stone, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

 

"Refutation of the Sects" is a 5th century Armenian work by Yeznik of Kolb.  The English retelling is by Dr Thomas Samuelian --the work is in four books, starting with a book on the nature of God and then refuting Greek philosophy, Persian Zurvanism, and Marcionism. There is also a preface by Dr. Samuelian.
