This useful and accurate text edition     contains a large, representative selection of works in Coptic, ranging     from Sethian Gnostic classics such as the «Apocryphon of John» to     Valentinian works like the «Gospel of Truth» and «Gospel of Philip» to the     Mesopotamian «Gospel of Thomas the Contender», all but one from the Nag     Hammadi manuscript hoard. Laid out in a readable literary format, the     Coptic text is discreetly analyzed into its component morphs, clarifying     the grammatical structure at every point. Greek words are annotated in     footnotes, and esoteric Gnostic vocabulary in Egyptian Coptic is covered     in a separate glossary. A brief introduction to each work points to     information on problems of dialect, grammar, manuscript, and scholarly     bibliography. Prepared by a leading expert on Gnosticism and the Coptic     language, this is the ideal Gnostic text collection, in a single volume,     for the use of scholars of religion, Egyptologists, Coptologists,     teachers, and students. Contents (in Coptic): Apocryphon of John,     Apocalypse of Adam, Hypostasis of the Archons, Thunder-Perfect Mind,     Trimorphic Protennoia, Gospel of the Egyptians, Zostrianos, Allogenes,     Three Steles of Seth, Gospel of Truth, Prayer of the Apostle Paul,     Treatise on Resurrection, Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Thomas, Book of     Thomas the Contender. Corresponding English translations of all these     works can be found in Bentley Layton, «The Gnostic Scriptures».\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55170178122102,"sku":"9789042912540","price":41.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29865934.jpg?v=1737401559","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042912540-coptic-gnostic-chrestomathy-a-selection-of-coptic-texts-with-grammatical-analysis-and-glossary","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
