The volume provides a comprehensive analysis and discussion of the concepts of authorship and the strategies of authorisation in Jewish and early Christian apocalyptic texts. Two introductory essays discuss the relevance of author concepts in literature and philosophy and present the wide variety of authorship concepts in Greco-Roman antiquity. Detailed studies discuss the constructions of authorship from the biblical prophets and the origins of Jewish apocalypticism in the Enochic tradition through Daniel, 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, and the Ladder of Jacob until the rabbinic literature. A second main part provides thorough discussions of the phenomena of authorization and constructions of authorship in Christian apocalypses from the Revelation of John to the Apocalypses of Peter and Paul and the Ascension of Isaiah. A final study presents glimpses into the reception of late ancient apocalypticism in Dante's Divine Comedy.Survey of contents
