- About the Nag Hammadi Library (The Nag Hammadi Scriptures)
The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient books (called "codices") containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. 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 1970's, has provided impetus to a major re-evaluation of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism. The leather-bound codices found at Nag Hammadi in 1945
For an introduction to the Nag Hammadi discovery and the texts in this ancient library, we offer several resources. First, read an excerpt from Elaine Pagels' excellent popular introduction to the Nag Hammadi texts, The Gnostic Gospels. 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. For another brief general overview, we offer an Introduction to Gnosticism and the Nag Hammadi Library by Lance Owens.
For further reading, The Gnostic Society Library Bookstore provides a selection of the foremost books on the Nag Hammadi library and Gnostic tradition.
Texts in the Collection:
All the texts discovered at Nag Hammadi are available in the Gnostic Society Library; the collection is indexed in alphabetical order, and by location in the original codices. A subject categorized list of the writings is also given below. You may search the entire collection of texts for keywords or phrases using our custom Nag Hammadi Search function.
We have special collections of resources dealing with two particularly important texts, the Gospel of Thomas, and The Secret Book (Apocryphon) of John. Several introductory lectures on the Nag Hammadi materials are provided, below.The Gnostic Bible, edited by Barnstone and Meyer
For many of the major writings in the Nag Hammadi collection more than one translation is provided in our library; where multiple translations are made available, we have listed the translators' names in parenthesis below the name of the scripture. Many of these translations are based on the work originally sponsored by the Coptic Gnostic Library Project of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity, Claremont, California.
Several prominent 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. Stevan Davies, and the late Dr. Marvin Meyer. Copyright information is given with the various translations in the library; contributors to this collection retain all copyright to their works.
The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, edited by Marvin MeyerThe International Edition of The Nag Hammadi Scriptures (published in 2007, edited by Marvin Meyer) provides authoritative translations for all of the Nag Hammadi texts, along with introductions and notes on the translations. We also highly recommend The Gnostic Bible, edited by Willis Barnstone and Marvin Meyer; this comprehensive volume includes excellent introductory material and provides beautiful translations for the most important Nag Hammadi scriptures. In preview, we provide an excerpt from Dr. Marvin Meyer's introduction to The Gnostic Bible.
Other important primary Gnostic texts - ancient writings discovered in the century before the recovery of the Nag Hammadi Library, including texts like the Gospel of Mary - are cataloged in the Classical Gnostic Scriptures section of the The Gnostic Society Library. Many scriptures in the Nag Hammadi collection were influence by Valentinus (c. 100-160 AD) and his tradition of Gnosis. Due to his importance, we have a large section of the library dedicated specifically to Valentinus and the Valentinian Tradition.
If you would like to see the ancient manuscripts themselves, digital images of the original Nag Hammadi Codices are available online at the Claremont Colleges Digital Library.

For what they create for themselves and others. They own their creations. For it is the fruit of their own way. Redemption is catching yourself from creating negatively for yourself and others. It not what you put in your mouth that defiles you. It's what comes out of your mouth that does. Pick up thy bed and no longer sleep and walk with me. I am

Those teachings (the gnostic gospels of the Nag Hammadi library) were an essential parts of the teachings of Jesus Christ which were altered to fit the agenda of a certain elite in 325 who wants to enslave humanity "you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free". And also to fit the beliefs of mithraism, the worship of mithra, the sun or baal, which represents satan himself, that's why they don't appear in the bible or mainstream Christianity.
[…] Why are there so many parts missing from the translation?
sections missing in the papyrus. about 1500 years old give or take a few years.
How is it that people who weren't around other people know everything that was said and Jesus never wrote anything? Why are there 4 different versions of the resurrection Matt Mk Lk Jn, if salvation depends on believing it?
Most people don’t write their own autobiographies even whilst alive
The real Wise never write down words, like Socrates, Lao tzue but their students /diseples do. They know writing will be distorted and manipulated.
