Epistle of Lentulus

The Epistle of Lentulus is a letter of unknown, likely pseudepigraphic origin, purporting to be written by a Roman official in Judea to the Roman Senate. The author describes the appearance of Christ in great detail. It was translated into Latin from a Greek original in the 13th or 14th century, but the antiquity of the Greek is much debated. Scholar Friedrich Münter thought the description might have first been penned in the very late 3rd century.
