The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden (1926) is a collection of 17th-century and 18th-century English translations of some Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and New Testament Apocrypha, some of which were assembled in the 1820s, and then republished with the current title in 1926.
History of the translations[edit]
Rutherford Hayes Platt, in the preface to his 1963 reprint of The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden states:
- 'First issued in 1926, this is the most popular collection of apocryphal and pseudepigraphal literature ever published.'
The translations were first published, under this title, by an unknown editor in The Lost Books of the Bible Cleveland 1926, but the translations had previously been published many times.
The book is, essentially, a combined reprint of earlier works. The first half, Lost Books of the Bible, is an unimproved reprint of a book published by William Hone in 1820, titled The Apocryphal New Testament, itself a reprint of a translation of the Apostolic Fathers done in 1693 by William Wake, who later became the Archbishop of Canterbury, and a smattering of medieval embellishments on the New Testament, from a book by Jeremiah Jones (1693-1724), posthumously published in 1736. In the three centuries since these were originally published, a great deal more is known about the Apostolic Fathers (including a good deal of the original text that was not available in 1693) and New Testament apocrypha.
The second half of the book, The Forgotten Books of Eden, includes a translation originally published in 1882 of the 'First and Second Books of Adam and Eve', translated first from ancient Ethiopic to German by Ernest Trumpp and then into English by Solomon Caesar Malan, and a number of items of Old Testament pseudepigrapha, such as reprinted in the second volume of R.H. Charles's Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament (Oxford, 1913).
More modern translations of these works include J. H. Charlesworth, ed. Old Testament Pseudepigrapha; W. Schneemelcher, ed. New Testament Apocrypha; and M. R. James, The Apocryphal New Testament.

This is a collection of New Testament Apocrypha, including many workswhich were admired and read by the early Christians, but which were laterexcluded from the canonical Bible.It includes accounts of the young Jesus, particularly theGospel of Mary and the Protevangelion,which provides additional folklore about the birth and youthful adventures of Jesus.Of note are the letters of Paul and Seneca, and the letters of Herod and Pilate,which are most likely a forgery,but add more depth to the question of the historicity of Jesus.There are also a number of non-canonical epistles,such as Laodiceans.Also worth a close read are the three books of theShepherd of Hermas,which uses apocalyptic and symbolic imagery.This collection is an invaluable selection of portions of the New Testamentwhich illustrates the fluid nature of the early Biblical canon, and providesaccess to all of the 'spare parts.'--J.B. Hare, August 12, 2009.
