Apocalypse of Abraham
This pseudepigraphon pairs a narrative of the young Abraham rejecting his father's idol-making trade with a later heavenly ascent in which he witnesses the Temple's coming destruction, using Abraham's story to process the same catastrophe driving 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch, though the work survives complete only in a later Old Church Slavonic translation of a lost Greek original. Its own place of composition is uncertain, consistent with that layered translation history.
