==Similar works== The first section of the story is similar to [[Psalm 148]], another account of how all creation praises God. Similar apocryphal works include the Gnostic [[Apocalypse of Adam]], the [[Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan]], and the [[Life of Adam and Eve]]. The work (along with the Syriac version of [[Cave of Treasures]]) seems to have influenced the [[Arabic Apocalypse of Peter]], another pseudepigraphical text popular in Syrian Christianity dated to the 9th–10th centuries.{{efn|An Arabic version with English translation of the Book of the Rolls which contains a modified and expanded excerpt from the Testament of Adam can be found in: {{cite book |last=Gibson |first=Margaret Dunlop |authorlink=Margaret Dunlop Gibson |date=1901 |editor-last=Thomas |editor-first=David |title=Apocrypha Arabica |series=Studia Sinaitica, No. VIII |publisher=C. J. Clay and Sons |location=London |pages=13–17 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xXkKAAAAIAAJ }}}} The angelology of the third section may have influenced the [[Book of the Bee]], a 13th-century Syriac work.<ref name="robinson" />
