Jung Codex

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

The Jung Codex was found at Nag Hammadi. It slipped through the hands of the Egyptian authorities and was sold to private collectors in the United States. Gilles Quispel, a Dutch historian, heard about these mysterious manuscripts and decided to buy them via the Jung Foundation in Zurich.

It contains:

• The Prayer of the Apostle Paul
• The Apocryphon of James (also known as the Secret Book of James)
• The Gospel of Truth
• The Treatise on the Resurrection
• The Tripartite Tractate
