Abstract
The article comprises the first Russian translation of the apocryphal Preaching of Andrew – a fifth- or sixth- century literary work, originally composed in Sahidic Coptic, whose complete text survives in an Arabic translation. The Russian translation is accompanied by a brief commentary and preceded by introductory notes.
Supporting agencies: I wish to thank my instructor in Arabic Alexey Duntsov, without whose help and advice this publication would not be possible.
