Apocryphon of Jeremiah, Dead Sea Scrolls Texts Nonbiblical Dead Sea Scrolls fragments that appear to relate to the prophet Jeremiah. It is disputed whether these are portions of a single text or of several different texts. When treated separately, they are distinguished as the Apocryphon of Jeremiah A (4Q383), Apocryphon of Jeremiah B (4Q384), and Apocryphon of Jeremiah C (4Q385a, 4Q387, 4Q388a, 4Q389, likely 4Q390, and maybe 6Q12). The fragments of Apocryphon of Jeremiah C were initially analyzed as part of Pseudo-Ezekiel but are now generally thought to belong to a separate text, and as such all three texts can be classified as pseudepigrapha about Jeremiah. For further details, see this article: Pseudo-Ezekiel, Dead Sea Scrolls Texts.
The title Apocryphon of Jeremiah (with no, A, B, or C following) is applied to a text unrelated to the Dead Sea Scrolls fragments; has survived in Coptic and Arabic. It is a pseudepigraphal work about the captivity of Jeremiah and his people in Babylon; it is also titled History of the Captivity of Babylon.
