Arabic Apocalypse of Peter

The Apocalypse of Peter or Vision of Peter (Arabic: Ru'ya Buṭrus), also known as the Book of the Rolls (Arabic: Kitāb al-Magāll) and other titles, is a Miaphysite Christian work probably written in the 10th century; the late 9th century and 11th century are also considered plausible. Around 40 manuscripts of it have been preserved and found. It is pseudepigraphically attributed to Clement of Rome, relating a vision experienced by the Apostle Peter of the resurrected Jesus; the actual author is unknown. The work was originally written in Arabic; many Ethiopic manuscripts exist as well, with the reworked Ethiopic version in the work Clement (Ethiopic: Qalēmenṭos or Kalamentos) along with other stories of Clementine literature.
