You won't want this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Jewish-Teachers-Jesus-James-Jude/dp/0195329007/
But David deSilva's the author ... same as upcoming OT Apocrypha translation.
Very unusual approach.

Thanks for the link to the PDF, I was very surprised to see there are quite so many allusions to the Apocrypha in the NT.
The two books referenced by you and MJ both look like interesting reading, it's a pity they are over 40 dollars each. They will have to be on my wish list for now.

From a scholarly standpoint, the book referenced by MJ is more important. I'm away from my home computer. When I return, I'll prepare a pdf of appendix 2 in Craig Evan's book.David Carter said:Beloved Amodeo said:

Also, if you’re looking on a verse-by-verse basis, the cross-references in the NA28 include Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha references.

I really appreciate the resource suggestions. [:)]
A related question, is there a way I can get Logos to display the apocryphal allusions in my preferred bible?

I haven't, but it looks like (yet) another book I should be adding to my library. Thanks for the suggestion

Of course, Logos tools include deuterocanonical references as well:
- Jackson, Jeffrey Glen, ed. New Testament Use of the Old Testament. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2015.
- Bible Books Explorer. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2020. (Intertext section)

I note that there is variance among the references between NA28 and Craig Evans' scholarship. Would anyone care to comment? As a for instance use Rev 22.2. I have no particular reason for choosing this case; other than that there is a difference between the verses chosen.R.

I wouldn't expect them to be the same only that they have overlap. Why?
- neither list claims to be comprehensive
- each author chooses the corpus they believe that the author may be familiar with - either formally or through use in common speech - as selects passages from that corpus
- in some cases, the allusion may depend upon a specific variants; the list may treat variants differently
- while quotations are relatively undisputed, other types on intertextuality is open to dispute ... the list may have different criteria for inclusion.

I noticed that NA28 rarely if ever includes Apocrypha or Pseudepigrapha and wondered why?MJ. Smith said:I wouldn't expect them to be the same only that they have overlap. Why?

I added a couple of screen shots ... I'm not sure how you got your results.
