Interesting list. I didn't know these details at all. Thank you for sharing. My list is up, but it references mature content so you don't have to visit if you are uncomfortable with that topic.

I´m sorry - I don´t know whether any of those books you´ve mentioned still do exist, BUT I enjoyed reading your TT a lot.

Are any of these books references to actual books of the Bible? You know, like they are what the people of that time called books like Song of Soloman, I Kings, etc.. Just wondering. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

When I read the Bible, I remember reading at times mentions of books. I never really thought of them as the actual books they are. I looked up some of those you referenced just to resee them. Thanks for pointing these out.

Wouldn't it be so nice if archaeologists find copies of some of these?
