| Abstract
|
:
|
"Layton's Coptic Gnostic Chrestomathy is an essential tool for scholars and students of the Gnostic corpus. This 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 and Book of Thomas the Contender, all but one from the Nag Hammadi manuscript hoard. Laid out in readable literary format, the Coptic text is 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."--BOOK JACKET.
