| - The Pilate cycle is a group of various pieces of early Christian literature that purport to either be written by Pontius Pilate, or else otherwise closely describe his activities and the Passion of Jesus. Unlike the four gospels, these later writings were not canonized in the New Testament, and hence relegated to a status of apocrypha. Some writings were quite obscure, with only a few ancient textual references known today; they merely survived through happenstance, and may not have been particularly widely read by early Christians in the Roman Empire and Christians in the Middle Ages. Others were more popular. The most notable example was the Gospel of Nicodemus (or "Acts of Pilate"), which proved quite popular and influential in medieval and Renaissance Christianity. (en)
- Lingkup Pilatus adalah sekumpulan karya sastra Kristen purba yang mendaku ditulis Pontius Pilatus, atau yang secara saksama menjabarkan kiprah Pontius Pilatus dan kisah Sengsara Yesus. Berbeda dari keempat injil, karya-karya sastra Lingkup Pilatus baru ditulis belakangan serta tidak dijadikan bagian dari Kitab Suci Perjanjian Baru, dan oleh karena itu tergolong apokrip. Asal-usul beberapa karya sastra Lingkup Pilatus agak kabur, mengingat hanya segelintir rujukan tekstualnya yang diketahui saat ini. Karya-karya sastra berasal-usul kabur tersebut hanya sintas secara kebetulan, dan mungkin saja tidak pernah menjadi karya tulis yang tersebar luas di kalangan pembaca Kristen pada zaman Kekaisaran Romawi maupun Abad Pertengahan. Karya-karya sastra Lingkup Pilatus selebihnya cukup populer. Yang (in)
