Many of the texts commonly ascribed to Jewish Antiquity, such as Apocrypha, Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, and the writings of Flavius Josephus and Philo of Alexandria, survive primarily in later (sometimes much later) Christian manuscripts.

What does the diverse and widespread manuscript transmission tell us about the long lives of these texts, and what is the critical potential of exploring them in the context of their manuscript embodiment?
