The Vision of Ezra was likely composed in Coptic sometime between 325 and 340 AD, however, only survives in Latin translations from the 11th century. This English translation was created by the Scriptural Research Institute in 2023.

The image used for the cover is an artistic reinterpretation of ‘Pandemonium’ by John Martin, painted in 1825.

Note: The notes for this book include multiple ancient scripts. For your convenience, fonts correctly depicting these scripts are embedded in the ebook. If your reader does not support embedded fonts, you will need to install Unicode fonts that cover the ranges for Coptic, Cuneiform, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Greek, and Phoenician on your reader manually, or you may see blank areas, question marks, or squares where the scripts are used. The Noto fonts from Google cover most of the scripts used, however, will not depict demotic Egyptian, Egyptian hieroglyphs, or Neo-Assyrian cuneiform correctly due to current limitations in Unicode.
