Some of the wide variety of texts and genres include medieval Latin and Hebrew reworkings of Josephus' Jewish War, the Anglo-French Play of Adam, and the Latin "Romance" of the patriarch Joseph's Egyptian wife, Aseneth"-- Josephus, Jerusalem, and the martyrs of medieval England -- Diaspora without end and the renewal of epic -- A fox among fish? : Berechiah ha-Naqdan's translations -- Pleasures and dangers of conversion : Joseph and Aseneth -- The testaments of the twelve patriarchs in the shadow of the ten lost tribes.
