EnglishThe artcile aims at offering a glimpse into the first results of a five year engagement with the German translation and annotation of three Late Antique Coptic ‘apocalypses’ (The Glory of the Precursor; The Investiture of Abbaton; The Mysteries of John). Firstly, this corpus of texts is searched through for common literary motifs and traces of their milieu of production. Secondly, the attempt is made to identify the non canonical traditions about angels and primeval human beings that two of the aforementioned ‘apocalypses’ (The Investiture of Abbaton and The Mysteries of John) evidently rework into their texture. The main questions of the sources and the Christological and soteriological agenda are addressed. Finally, conclusions are drawn regarding the polemical stances and ideological strategies underlying these literary works as a whole and animating the monastic milieu of their production.
