Testament of Adam

The Testament of Adam is a Christian pseudepigraphical work extant in Syriac and Arabic, believed to be 6th CE as we have it but 4th century CE in orgin, probably composed in Edessa. It purports to relate the final words of Adam to his son Seth in which he speaks of prayer and then prophecies both the coming of Jesus and the coming of the Deluge.

Other accounts of the last words of Adam see Apocalypse of Adam, Life of Adam and Eve and Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan.
