Jacobus de Voragine
One important version of the Pilate legend is found in the "Golden Legend" by Jacobus de Voragine (1263–1273), one of the most popular books of the later Middle Ages. In the "Golden Legend", Pilate is portrayed as closely associated with Judas, first coveting the fruit in the orchard of Judas's father Ruben, then granting Judas Ruben's property after Judas has killed his own father.
