One of the Pseudepigrapha, the Psalms of Solomon is a group of eighteen “war” psalms that are not part of any scriptural canon. They are, however, found in copies of the Peshitta and the Septuagint. The Psalms of Solomon were referenced in Early Christian writings, but lost to modern scholars until a Greek manuscript was rediscovered in the 17th century.

Unfortunately, the Kolbrin Bible has no authority beyond that claimed by its original publishers. On the Web there is no reference to "The Kolbrin" or "The Bronzebook" other than by the publishers; the official Glastonbury Website makes no mention of this "boo...

This Book is so rare and sought after in our country it has been called, by our Rabbis, the true Great Work. They were the ones who left us this precious original that many charlatans uselessly wanted to counterfeit, attempting to imitate the truth that they never found, in order to swindle ingenuous individuals who have faith in initial encounters without seeking their true Source. This manuscript has been copied from various writings of the great King Solomon. This great king spent all o...

"The High History of the Holy Graal" was written by an unknown author (and translated from French by Sebastian Evans in 1898) and it is considered to be one of the least–canonical of the Arthurian romances. Nevertheless, it does introduce some characters who would go on to become common in later romances, such as King Claudas, Meliant and the Questing Beast. It should not be confused with the more popular "Quest of the Holy Grail.""The High History of the Holy Graal" is an ancient ...

Though it is often viewed both as the archetypal Anglo-Saxon literary work and as a cornerstone of modern literature, Beowulf has a peculiar history that complicates both its historical and its canonical position in English literature. By the time the story of Beowulf was composed by an...
