e-Clavis: Christian Apocrypha is a comprehensive bibliography of Christian Apocrypha research assembled and maintained by members of the North American Society for the Study of Christian Apocryphal Literature (NASSCAL).
The site was launched in February, 2016 with 12 entries. Five new entries were added in the past few months and a number have been assigned to NASSCAL members. The new entries are:
1 Apocryphal Apocalypse of John
A new feature is being added to the entries: individual pages, under the banner Manuscripta apocryphorum, providing details on each manuscript, including online images (where available). More of this information will be added to older entries in the coming months.
For more information on the e-Clavis project, attend the Digital Humanities/Christian Apocrypha Session at the 2016 SBL, which features a paper by Janet Spittler and Tony Burke entitled “Founding an Academic Society in the Digital Age: The North American Society for the Study of Christian Apocryphal Literature.”

The first collaborative project initiated by the North American Society for the Study of Christian Apocryphal Literature (NASSCAL) is a comprehensive clavis and bibliography on the Christian Apocrypha. The last attempt at creating such a resource, James H. Charlesworth’s print bibliography (The New Testament Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha: A Guide to Publications, with Excurses on Apocalypses. ATLA Bibliography Series 17. Metuchen, NJ: Scarecrow, 1987), is now almost 30 years old. It is time to update and expand Charlesorth’s work, but this time as an electronic resource.
The process envisioned for the creation of e-Clavis: Christian Apocrypha is to enlist members of NASSCAL to contribute entries on texts on which they have already completed, or are in the process of completing, a substantial body of work. Essentially, the contributors will be required to simply reformat and slightly augment bibliographies that are already largely complete and, presumably, being continually updated. Along with print resources, each entry includes also a detailed description (a summary, the various titles used in scholarship, clavis numbers, and identification of related literature), an inventory of manuscript sources (with online images where available), an extensive bibliography (including online resources), and information about the text’s use in iconography and popular culture.
For the complete (but certainly expandable) list of texts covered, visit the e-Clavis page at NASSCAL.com:

At this moment, 12 entries have been completed, and another 42 are assigned and in progress. For examples of completed entries, see:

One of the primary goals of e-Clavis: Christian Apocrypha is to encourage interaction and collaboration among scholars of the Christian Apocrypha. Entries are prepared by scholars working with the texts and users are encouraged to contact the contributors with suggestions for improvement or enhancement. The success of e-Clavis is contingent upon the willingness of users and contributors to exchange information and consistently update the entries.
