Download or read book Nag Hammadi Codex VIII written by Sieber and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Codex VIII from Nag Hammadi contains two tractates, Zostrianos and The Letter of Peter to Philip. This volume presents a critical edition of those texts, and includes regarding each separate text a transcription with notes, an introduction, and a translation. In addition it includes an introduction to the Codex itself, and several sets of indices. The tractate Zostrianos recounts a heavenly journey of a gnostic mystic who gains and brings back with him the saving gnosis. That gnosis is most closely related to Middle Platonism and the document intends to be part of that tradition. As such it was refuted by Plotinus and his pupil Amelius. Much of the manuscript is poorly preserved. The Letter of Peter to Philip is a gnostic revelatory discourse in letter form with Peter as its hero. The Risen Christ reveals a gnostic view of the universe and of human existence.

Book Synopsis Nag Hammadi Codices XI, XII, XIII by : Charles W. Hedrick
Download or read book Nag Hammadi Codices XI, XII, XIII written by Charles W. Hedrick and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents critical editions of three of the most fragmentary codices in the Nag Hammadi Library. Their nine tractates are presented in an English translation with critically edited transcriptions of Coptic texts, including introductions and notes. A complete set of indices is provided for Coptic and Greek words, proper names, ancient texts and authors, and modern authors. The contents of these three ancient books reflect the rich diversity of the Library as a whole. They include a fragmentary (and apparently non-Christian) revelation descent narrative (Hypsiphrone); a non-Christian Sethian text reflecting heavy platonizing influence (Allogenes); Hellenistic Greek wisdom literature (Sentence of Sextus); a non-christian Sethian text, secondarily Christianized (Trimorphic Protennoia); Valentinian Gnosticism (A Valentinian Exposition); a Christian-Gnostic tractate with Valentinian affinities (The Interpretation of Knowledge). A Christian-Gnostic (perhaps Valentinian) homily on the gospel (the Gospel of Truth); the first page of On the Origin of the World (completely preserved in NHC II) and an identified fragmentary tractate with ethical content. There are also five Valentinian liturgical supplements appended to Allogenes. The publication of these religio-philosophical materials from Nag Hammadi provides the scholar and interested reader with critical editions of texts that help to fill in background and context of gnostic origins, and that shed light on the interaction among early Christianity and gnostic movements in antiquity.
Book Synopsis The Facsimile Edition of the Nag Hammadi Codices by : James M. Robinson
Download or read book The Facsimile Edition of the Nag Hammadi Codices written by James M. Robinson and published by Brill Archive. This book was released on 1984 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of thirteen codices found in upper Egypt near Nag Hammadi in 1946 is one of the major archaeological discoveries of our time. Apparently the library of a Gnostic community in late antiquity, the codices are a repository of important spiritual materials from throughout the ancient world. Hence a thorough analysis of this new material is indispensable for any proper understanding of the history of religions in this period. The rich documentation which the codices add to early Coptic text material promises to raise to a new precision the historical analysis of that language.|This edition presents collotype reproductions in natural size of all folios of the thirteen codices as well as reproductions of the covers and photographs previously taken of fragments that are now lost.
Book Synopsis The Nag Hammadi Codices and their Ancient Readers by : Paul Linjamaa
Download or read book The Nag Hammadi Codices and their Ancient Readers written by Paul Linjamaa and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their discovery in 1945, the Nag Hammadi Codices have generated questions and scholarly debate as to their date and function. Paul Linjamaa contributes to the discussion by offering insights into previously uncharted aspects pertinent to the materiality of the manuscripts. He explores the practical implementation of the texts in their ancient setting through analyses of codicological aspects, paratextual elements, and scribal features. Linjamaa's research supports the hypothesis that the Nag Hammadi texts had their origins in Pachomian monasticism. He shows how Pachomian monks used the texts for textual edification, spiritual development and pedagogical practices. He also demonstrates that the texts were used for perfecting scribal and editorial practice, and that they were used as protective artefacts containing sacred symbols in the continuous monastic warfare against evil spirits. Linjamaa's application of new material methods provides clues to the origins and use of ancient texts, and challenges preconceptions about ancient orthodoxy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Book Synopsis Critical examination of Codex VIII by : L. Mwansa
Download or read book Critical examination of Codex VIII written by L. Mwansa and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the critical examination of Codex VIII. According to James Robinson in his book The Coptic Gnostic Library he writes, Nag Hammadi Codex VIII (CG VIII, NHC VIII), the manuscript was formerly numbered Codex VII by Doresse Mina, IX by Puech, and IV by Doresse, Les Livres secrets as can be seen from Robinson, Facsimile Edition: Codex VIII, pp. vii and ix. Papyrus codex were very imperfect with original folios of 242 mm high and 147 mm wide. Before conservation many leaves or leaf fragments of the codex were in several pieces which have now been restored. Before 1961, the text block was attached to its ancient binding, or in loose fragments but later completely disbound, and the quire sheets cut apart into leaves in 1961, however, they were rejoined between 1970 and 1976, and are conserved in plexiglas frames, with the ancient codex page numbers. The ancient binding is kept separately (inv. 10550). One hundred twenty-six fragments of cartonnage have been taken away from the binding and are also preserved separately (Facsimile Edition: Cartonnage, 59 to 70; Barns Browne Shelton, Nag Hammadi Codices: Cartonnage, 87 to 102, transcribing 43 fragments; 83 other fragments were too small to be transcribed). In original form, the text block (in a single quire) consisted of 74 leaves of which two were flyleaves, two were stubs, and two constituted a blank protective bifolium at the center of the quire; of these, 70 leaves (many imperfect) have remained of which two are flyleaves, one a stub, one a blank shielding leaf at the center; together with 119 un-ascertained fragments, mostly very small. The text block has been damaged by insects, rotting, and at the fold by the wearing away influence of the leather binding; leaves sometimes show offset (leaving traces useful for repairing of lost text), stains, or rubbing. In general, less papyrus remains near the fold than at the fore-edge, and the damage is most complete about half way through the text and there are indications that the manuscript was already in this damaged form when it was discovered in 1945 (Facsimile Edition: Codex VIII, pi. 3 to 6).

Book Synopsis The Nag Hammadi Codices and Late Antique Egypt by : Hugo Lundhaug
Download or read book The Nag Hammadi Codices and Late Antique Egypt written by Hugo Lundhaug and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume situate the Nag Hammadi Codices and their texts in the context of late antique Egypt, treating such topics as Coptic readers and readings, the difficulty of dating early Greek and Coptic manuscripts, scribal practices, the importance of heavenly ascent, asceticism, and instruction in Egyptian monastic culture. They also explore the relationship of the texts to the Origenist controversy and Manichaeism, the continuity of mythical traditions in later Coptic literature, and issues relating to the codices' production and burial. The volume thus showcases the new trend in scholarship to treat the Nag Hammadi Codices not as sources for Gnosticism, but instead for Christianity and monasticism in late antique Egypt.

Download or read book The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Codices written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discoveries of Coptic books containing “Gnostic” scriptures in Upper Egypt in 1945 and of the Dead Sea Scrolls near Khirbet Qumran in 1946 are commonly reckoned as the most important archaeological finds of the twentieth century for the study of early Christianity and ancient Judaism. Yet, impeded by academic insularity and delays in publication, scholars never conducted a full-scale, comparative investigation of these two sensational corpora—until now. Featuring articles by an all-star, international lineup of scholars, this book offers the first sustained, interdisciplinary study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Codices.
