The Book of the Bee by E. A. Wallis Budge

Description

The Book of the Bee is a book by E. A. Wallis Budge, first published in 1886. It is an English translation of a 13th-century Syriac text attributed to Solomon of Basra, a Nestorian bishop. The work is a rich compendium of theological lore, covering topics such as the creation of the world, the succession of biblical patriarchs, the life of Christ, and eschatological themes including the end times and resurrection. Written in a style blending biblical history with Eastern Christian cosmology and folklore, the text provides valuable insight into the worldview and doctrinal interpretations of the Church of the East during the medieval period. It is particularly noted for preserving apocryphal traditions and early Christian legends not commonly found in Western scripture.
