a book "full of all manner of wickedness," was current among the Sethian, Ophites (Epiph. Hoer. 286 c). It is probably the Apocryphal work under Abraham's name condemned by Nicephorus (Credner, Zur Gesch. d. Kanons, p. 121, 145). The length is rather over that assigned to Canticles. A Greek Testament of Abraham, extant in MS. at Vienna, appears to be of a much later date.
