Di che cosa tratta

Pistis Sophia, una miscellanea gnostica.

Contesto e storia

Uno dei pochi testi gnostici lunghi che si conoscessero prima dei ritrovamenti di Nag Hammadi: il Gesù risorto istruisce i discepoli per undici anni, e Maria Maddalena è quella che fa le domande migliori. Conservato in copto, in un manoscritto comprato a Londra nel Settecento.

And Jesus said to his disciples : '* I am come what the forth out of that First Mystery, which is the last te^ gur^^" mystery, that is the four-and-twentieth mystery." ^oundeth. And his disciples have not known nor understood that anything existeth within that mystery ; but they thought of that mystery, that it is the head of the universe and the head of all existence ; and they thought it is the completion of all completions, because Jesus had said to them concerning that mystery, that it surroundeth the First Commandment and the five Impressions and the great Light | and the five Helpers and the 2. whole Treasury of the Light. And moreover Jesus had not told his disciples 1 1 PISTIS SOPHIA The regions of the great Invisible. The Trea- sury of the Light. 3. The Light- world.
