Abstract

In this study, firstly the narratives of the creation and life of Adam were discussed in the Old Testament. Vita and Apocalypse versions of Apocryphal Adam and Eve's life have been critical and both texts were translated. The story of the text in the Islamic sources Adam and The proximity of Eve's narratives is remarkable. It is thought that these texts, which are between the Jewish and Christian apocryphal, will contribute to the studies of comparative religions.

Âdem ve Havva’nın Kitabı: Eski Ahit Apokrifasında Âdem ve Havva’nın Hayatı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada öncelikle Eski Ahitte Âdem’in yaratılışı ve hayatına dair anlatılara temas ettikten sonra, apokrif Âdem ve Havva’nın Hayatı adlı metnin Vita ve Apocalypse versiyonları kritik edilecek ve her iki metnin çevirileri verilecektir. Metinlerdeki öykünün İslâmî kaynaklarda yer alan Âdem ve Havva’nın hayatına dair anlatılarla yakınlığı dikkat çekici olmakla birlikte Yahudi - Hıristiyan apokrifası arasında yer alan bu metinlerin mukayeseli dinler tarihi çalışmalarına katkı sağlayacağı kanaatindeyiz
