Later compilation
The Protevangelium of James
Γένεσις Μαρίας (Protevangelium Iacobi)
An account of the birth and childhood of Mary, her marriage to Joseph and the birth of Jesus in a cave near Bethlehem. It is the source of much Marian tradition—the names of Joachim and Anne, Mary's presentation in the Temple, her perpetual virginity—and was hugely influential in Eastern Christianity.
Authorship note
Attributed to James, the brother of Jesus, who presents himself as narrator; scholarship dates it to the second half of the second century. The oldest manuscript is Papyrus Bodmer V (third–fourth centuries).
