This volume gathers a dozen essays by the author on the ancienttraditions of Mary's Dormition and Assumption, all of which expand onthe work published in his major study on this topic, The AncientTraditions of Mary's Dormition and Assumption (Oxford, 2002). The essayswere originally published between 1999 and 2011 and cover a broad rangeof topics in relation to traditions about the end of Mary's life, fromancient gnostic Christianity to Christian anti-Judaism to the beginningsof Marian veneration. Although each of these items was previouslypublished in another venue, for the first time this volume makes thesewritings on the Virgin's Dormition available together, offering animportant supplement and in some cases update of the earlier monograph.While its chapters remain largely faithful to the original publicationsin their content, when appropriate, they have been selectively updatedto account for more recent research.
