The
publisher says that he found a copy in Pittsburgh about the year 1900,
of the London edition of 1820, which he says was very rare. This book
supposedly contains historical gospels and other matter rejected by the
Council of Nice, yet sometimes referred to by ancient Christian writers.
This reprint is now rather scarce itself.
23 items, including The Gospel of the Birth of Mary, The Protevangelion, The Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ, &c.
