A (probably) Jewish apocryphal work of this name is mentioned in the Stichometry of Nicephorus and another list practically identical with this; a quotation from it is also preserved by Clement of Alexandria ( Strom ., v. 11,77). Dr. Charles thinks this indicates a Christian revision ( Encyclopedia Brittanica , II, article "Apocalypse"); others suppose it to point to a Christian, rather than a Jewish, origin. See Schurer, HJP , 504 II, volume III, pp. 126-27,132; GJV 4 , III, 367-69.
