The second book of the Holy Library: an alphabetical lexicon of the books, writers, and writings of which mention is made in the holy Scriptures — and of those falsely fathered upon them. Here are the lost books the Bible itself names, from the book of the Wars of the Lord to the three thousand parables of Solomon; the letters of kings and apostles; the apocrypha of both Testaments, from the Ascension of Moses and the secret books of Esdras to the gospels of the Hebrews, of Peter, and of Judas, the Paul–Seneca correspondence, and the Transitus of Mary, each weighed and judged; the phylacteries of the Pharisees, the handwriting on the wall, the title on the cross, and the inscription of the pontifical vestment — several hundred entries, from Aaron's plate to Zechariah. In English for the first time.
