Text Status and Contents:

The Greek text of the Testament of Solomon is presented here as it appears in C. C. McCown, The Testament of Solomon (UNT 9; Leipzig: J. C. Hinrichs, 1922), 5-75. Work on a critical apparatus has not yet begun.

Apart from a single Syriac and a single Arabic manuscript which have been identified but not published, the textual evidence for the Testament of Solomon survives only in Greek.

Please note that final proofreading of this edition of Testament of Solomon is not complete. Use with caution until further notice.
