It did not “enjoy enormous popularity” which is why it languished and no one bothered to retain a copy of it into later ages. Nice try, anti-Christian clowns.
This story is well known to Catholics: it is one of the pseudo gospels that have been around since the early church....we are told that the stories are just romantic fiction.
indeed, it is even one of the stories that Anne Rice included in her books on Jesus’childhood (and is in the movie based on the story).
1600 years old???? LOL!!!!! It SHOULD be over 2000 years old!!!

Saying 7: The Lion and the Human
Jesus said, “Blessed is the lion that’s eaten by a human and then becomes human, but how awful for the human who’s eaten by a lion, and the lion becomes human.”
Saying 12: James the Just
The disciples said to Jesus, “We know you’re going to leave us. Who will lead us then?”
Jesus said to them, “Wherever you are, you’ll go to James the Just, for whom heaven and earth came into being.”

Most Bible scholars would put the writings of the New Testatment between 50 A.D. and 100 A.D. With Revelations closing the Book.
