Focusing on the life of the Virgin Mary, this text explores her miraculous birth, upbringing in the temple, and early marriage to Joseph, providing details not found in the New Testament. It enhances familiar narratives surrounding Jesus' conception and escape from Herod's decree. Despite being noncanonical, it has significantly influenced Eastern churches and captivated Western readers since the sixteenth century. This study edition features a new translation, cross-references, and commentary, along with an extensive introduction that delves into recent scholarly insights on Mary and the text's cultural impact.
