Summary:

"Different parts of the Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary are known from the second century onwards. Translations and adaptations into Syriac and other languages also became available from very early centuries. The compilation in the Syriac language was translated into Malayalam in 1925, but an English translation containing the full text did not exist at all. This gap has been filled now by this work. Sebastian Brock's Foreword gives important information on the background and authenticity of the different sources that form the basis of the text. This biography is unique in that it brings together some very early accounts of the birth of Mary, the birth of Jesus, the flight into Egypt, and most importantly, the very rare account of the 'Dormition' or 'falling asleep' of the Blessed Mother"-- Provided by publisher.

The translations have come from a document written in Syriac under the title Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary dated to 401 AD that was, prior to 1925, in the possession of His Grace Mor Severius, Metropolitan of the Knanaya Diocese of the Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church of Kerala, India.

Translation of a compilation put together in the middle ages attributed to a Christian from abroad by the name of Danaho of the six separate apocryphal books which are much older in date attributed to early Christians with new material added throughout; this is the first complete English translation of all six of these ancient books.
