User:Auric/Kolbrin Bible

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kolbrin Bible or The Bronzebook of Britain is a secular anthology that purports to have been originally written by Ancient Egyptian priests. The earliest copy is said to date from 1184.[1] No original source text has yet to be located, and it may be a pious fraud. The work comprises 11 separate volumes.

The word bible is used in the sense of "a collection", since the modern version contains information from several different manuscripts, including works on Celtic folklore. It has only minimal connection to the Hebrew Bible.

History[edit]

The actual text is said to date from 1184, when it was supposedly rescued from a great fire at Glastonbury Abbey. Several monastic buildings were destroyed and the text was one of several salvaged from the flames.[2] Why the name "Kolbrin" was applied to the work is not known.

Content[edit]

The main or center text was supposedly a collection of Egyptian folklore assembled by Egyptian priests after Moses' Crossing the Red Sea, in an attempt to understand it. How the text reached Britain is not explained.

Other texts added after the fire include the "Coelbook", a collation of ancient Celtic and Druid folklore, philosophy and mysticism. [2]
