Abstract

 This paperwork deals with the analysis of the book of the apocryphal book whose full text is translated from Syriac into English in The Apocryphal Acts of Thomas, by author Jan N.

The aim of this brief analysis is describe the considerations of one of the great scholars on apocrypha, primitive Christianity, the work Tomasina, namely Jan N. Bremmer and his guests. We also recommend reading it to everyone.
