Before you read

Context without the mythology.

Codex ISO separates the surviving evidence from later interpretation, so you can encounter the text without being told what to believe about it first.

01 / Historical context

Survives in Coptic as Nag Hammadi Codex II,4, manuscript pages 86-97. The source translation uses the alternate English title The Substance of the Archons.

02 / Why it matters

Read the complete surviving text with its alternate title, manuscript witness and damaged readings kept clear.

From / associated with the text

““Their chief is blind; because of his power and his ignorance and his arrogance he said — with his power — ‘It is I who am God; there is none other apart from me.’””
