'''A Prayer of [http://www.earlyjewishwritings.com/manasseh.html Manasseh]'''

Raymond E. Brown writes: "The piety is that of late Judaism, and the deuterocanonical prayer of Azariah (Dn 3:24-90) offers some interesting parallels. The Prayer of Manasseh was originally composed in Greek by a Jew in the 1st or 2nd cent. AD. It was promptly translated from Greek into Syriac, and thus our earliest extant form of the Prayer is in a 3rd-cent. Christian Syr work, the Didascalia. Although the prayer did not appear in early Vg mss., it is found in medieval mss. The Sixto-Clementine Vg printed it as a supplement (after Trent failed to list it as canonical). Protestants count it as one of 'the Apocrypha.'" (The Jerome Biblical Commentary, vol. 1, p. 541)
