New in My Library: Texts on the Antichrist and the End Times

I wanted to share with you a little of what I have been working on this week. In my Library, you'll find a number of new entries, including a brand new section devoted to the Alexander Romance, the Late Antique novel that changed literature forever. I have included a number of public domain translations of the Romance and its offshoots, including my translation of the Coptic fragments, and summaries of the major texts that have never been translated into English. 

I became interested in the myth included in some version of the Romance about Alexander locking the tribes of Gog and Magog behind impenetrable gates in the north. This myth found its way into the prophecy of the Tiburtine Sibyl, which I had previously translated, and then into the Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius, which I have translated since, to my surprise, it was only translated into English in the 21st century, in a translation that remains under copyright. Since these latter texts also revolve around the End Times and the Antichrist, I also added my translation of the early and late versions of the letter Adso sent to the Queen of France around 950 CE, The Origin and Time of the Antichrist, providing the first biography of the Antichrist.

This text was highly influential in both content and form, and it's all the more relevant now because Peter Thiel is traveling the world delivering lectures on the biography of the Antichrist, which in turn are influencing the tech industry and Thiel's acolytes in government. 

I have some ideas about possibly working this into a book, but I am not sure whether it is worth the time and effort, given how little money books make.
