What it is
What Adam and Eve did after the garden: the penance standing in the Jordan and the Tigris, Satan's account of why he refused to worship a creature made of clay, and Eve's deathbed confession to her children of how it all happened.
Why it lasted
Satan's fall through refusing to bow to Adam enters Christian and later Islamic tradition from here. The oil of mercy Seth seeks became the legend of the wood of the cross.
Scripture it works from
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
