Reproduction (facsimile) of the original book from 1897.THE Assumption of Moses was, in all probability, a composite work, and consisted of two originally distinct books, of which the first was really the Testament of Moses, and the second the Assumption. The former was written in Hebrew, between 7 and 29 A.D., and possibly also the latter. A Greek version of the entire work appeared in the first century A.D. Of this a few phrases and sentences have been preserved in St. Matt. xxiv. 2 9; Acts vii. 35; St. Jude 9, 16, 18, the Apocalypse of Baruch, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and other Greek writers. The fragments in the Greek writers are printed below (pp. 107-109). The Greek version was translated into Latin not later than the fifth century. That such a Latin version ever existed was unknown to the modern world till nearly forty years ago, when a large fragment of it was discovered by Ceriani in a sixth-century MS. in the Ambrosian Library in Milan.
