ABSTRACT

As a title, it does not appear until the first or second century ad, with The Book of the Apocalypse of Baruch, Son of Nerias or The Revelation to John dated around 70 or 90 ad. Apocalypse of Isaiah will attempt to explore the convergence between Apopcalypses are apocryphal texts aspects of the term, since discussing the myth of the Apocalypse does not mean studying apocalyptic literature. But di Borgo san Donnino work was merely derived from the myth of the Apocalypse and from a by-product or sub-set of it: the myth of the Millenium. Similarly, the theme of Paradise Lost the fall of Satan, the temptation of Man and the combat of the angels also recalls an apocryphal apocalypse, though this work was certainly unknown to Milton. The Apocalypse is the symbol of this work and of all works. The Apocalypse is a pretext or, even worse, a false trail, an empty structure.
