Apocalypse of Thomas
prose

Apocryphal Latin text which gives an account of the signs that will supposedly appear in the final week before the Last Judgment. The vision is said to have been revealed by Christ to a certain Thomas, presumably the doubting apostle of that name. Different versions of the text have been transmitted, but a broad distinction is commonly made between (1) a short recension, which is possibly closest to the original, (2) an interpolated one, which contains a preface, and (3) various abbreviated texts.

Latin apocalypse (Avranches MS 108)
prose
Fragment of a Latin apocalyptic text in which Christ is made to prophesy the end of the world as well as the coming of the Antichrist. It is found as a later, 10th-century marginal addition (partly erased) to a 9th-century manuscript, possibly from Mont St-Michel (Avranches, BM, MS 108). This text, in particular its description of the physical appearance of the Antichrist, has been cited for its close parallels to a number of Irish versions of the Antichrist legend.
