...attempted to seduce Joseph. Having been rebuffed, she charged Joseph with attempted rape, and Joseph was imprisoned. In prison, Joseph again found favor and was placed in charge of all the prisoners. Among these were two of Pharaoh’s officials, his chief butler and his chief baker.

The story of Joseph the Carpenter is told in a Coptic devotional text of probably the end of the 4th C.; the original Greek version is lost (S. Morenz, Die Geschichte von Joseph dem Zimmermann [Berlin 1951 ]). A feast of Joseph was unknown in the Greek church, but he was commemorated on the Sunday after...

... [See Joseph, Apocryphon of .] Only the Aramaic Apocryphon of Joseph has some resemblance to the Testament of Joseph, which focuses on and embellishes two aspects of the Joseph narrative—Joseph's resisting the seduction of the wife of Pentephris (Potiphar) and his selfless dealing with his brothers. The Apocryphon of Joseph a , a copy of the same text as the Apocryphon of Joseph b (lines 5–13), is written in a middle Hasmonean script and dated earlier than the Apocryphon of Joseph b . The Apocryphon of Joseph b consists of three major fragments and...

... Joseph , called the Patriarch to avoid confusing him with Joseph of Nazareth , was the son of Jacob and Rachel . The numerous episodes of his life (Gen 37-50) were interpreted as prefiguring the life of the Messiah. Isolated representations of Joseph were rare, though he sometimes had a place on cathedral portals alongside the prophets . The cycle of Joseph's story was popularized from the 5th c. and could provide matter for numerous episodes, like the 22 bas-reliefs on the foundation of the façade of Auxerre cathedral. But scenes from the story...

There are a few references to him in Chaucer . God gave his blessing to Pharaoh by the service of Joseph (X.443). He is also quoted in The Parson's Tale as an example of the kind of ‘trouthe’ or fidelity rarely found nowadays (X.880): the story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife (Gen. 39:8–9) is used to illustrate a passage on the breaking of faith.
