The Aseneth Home Page<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to\u00a0The Aseneth Home Page<\/em>, the web site devoted to\u00a0Joseph and Aseneth<\/em>, a Pseudepigraphical tale told about the Biblical Patriarch Joseph and his Egyptian wife Aseneth. This site provides an introduction, translation, bibliography and links. The site was created in 1999 to coincide with a University of Birmingham course that I was teaching. It was redesigned by Viola Goodacre in 2025, and I have added lots of new content to coincide with its relaunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
