This situation encouraged the vision of the codices, at least for certain purposes, as an homogeneous entity. In this paper I shall assume that this vision is reasonable, in spite of the otherwise right opinion, which is now generally accepted, that technically the codices, and consequently the texts that they contain, cannot be considered as homogeneous, and I shall explain the sense and motivation of this assumption. This presupposes that I briefly recapitulate the main issues at stake. Let me remind first, that James Robinson in his paper which introduced the celebration of the fifty years from the discovery 3 has indicated the three main novelties brought by the texts in the field of religious studies: the importance of the sect that can be called of " the Sethians " , and the possibility to understand its doctrinal character with sufficient precision; the renovated attention for the apocrypha, with the possibility to better investigate the intertestamental literature; the new perspectives introduced by the Gospel of Thomas in the study of the logia and the sources and formation of the canonical Gospels. To this it should be added the study of the linguistic features of the texts, carried on mainly by Nagel, Kasser, and Funk: it is well known how the landscape of the Coptic dialects and the opinions on the birth of the Coptic language have been radically changed 4 as a consequence of the new documents. On the other hand, the question whether the NH codices may be taken as an individual collection, perhaps even as a library, or part of one library, rather than a fortuitous gathering of disparate entities, is still open. Alberto Camplani has recently written a lucid synthesis of the many stadies. The best recent contributions on this subject are those by Clemens Scholten 7 a monastic library; but his conclusions are not convincing and Alexander Khosroyev, 8 who is totally sceptic of all the solutions, but does not propose a new one. In any case both contain a detailed list of the studies done so far.

Nor does BG feature the epithets in a row, as we find in P. Elisabeth R O'Connell.

The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient books called "codices" containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary "Gnostic Gospels" — texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy" — scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas , the Gospel of Philip , and the Gospel of Truth. The discovery and translation of the Nag Hammadi library, initially completed in the 's, has provided impetus to a major re-evaluation of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism. For an introduction to the Nag Hammadi discovery and the texts in this ancient library, we offer several resources. Then, for an overview of the Gnostic scriptures and a discussion of ancient Gnosis, read this excerpt from Dr. Marvin Meyer's introduction to The Gnostic Bible.

Several of the major texts in the Nag Hammadi collection have more than one translation listed; where multiple translations are provided, we have listed the translators' names in parenthesis below the title of the text. All of these ancient manuscripts had some areas of damage, some of the pages were very fragmentary. Sections of lost or unreadable text are usually indicated in the translations with ellipses [ All translations presented below have undergone modification, formatting, and minor revision for use in this internet edition. Several scholars have granted us permission to present their original translations of Nag Hammadi texts here in the Gnostic Society Library. We are particular indebted to the assistance and contributions of Dr. Willis Barnstone, Dr. John Turner, Dr.
