See also:ISAIAH, See also:ASCENSION OF , an apocryphal See also:book of the Old Testament. The Ascension of Isaiah is a composite See also:work of very See also:great See also:interest. In its See also:present See also:form it is probably not older than the latter See also:half of the 2nd See also:century of our era. Its various constituents, however, and of these there were three—the Martyrdom of Isaiah, the Testament of See also:Hezekiah and the See also:Vision of Isaiah—circulated independently as See also:early as the 1st century. The first of these was of Jewish origin, and is of less interest than the other two, which were the work of See also:Christian writers. The Vision of Isaiah is important for the knowledge it affords us of
See also:Origen, See also:Tertullian and by See also:Justin See also:Martyr. It was probably known to the writer of the See also:Epistle to the See also:Hebrews. Thus we are brought back to the 1st century A.D. if the last reference is trustworthy. And this is no doubt the right date, for See also:works written by See also:Jews in the 2nd century would not be likely to become current in the Christian See also:- CHURCH

The later recension of this Vision was used by See also:Jerome, and a more See also:primitive form of the See also:text by the Archontici according to See also:Epiphanius. It is still earlier attested by the Actus Petri Vercellenses. Since the Protevangel of See also:- JAMES

James was apparently acquainted with it, and likewise See also:Ignatius (ad. Ephes. xix.), the See also:composition of the primitive form of the Vision goes back to the See also:close of the 1st century.
The work of combining and editing these three See also:independent writings may go back to early in the 3rd or even to the 2nd century. LITERATURE.
