Codex ISO Edition 011 · Complete Surviving Texts

A post-resurrection dialogue in which the Savior answers Philip, Matthew, Thomas, Bartholomew and Mary on the unknowable Father, the Immortal Human, Sophia, the aeons and liberation from the lower powers.

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

Two Coptic witnesses survive: Nag Hammadi Codex III,4 and Berlin Codex 8502,3. Codex III preserves pages 90-119 with four manuscript pages lost; the Berlin version runs from pages 77-127.

02 / Why it matters

Read both surviving versions in full, with the manuscript gaps and witness boundaries kept clear.

From / associated with the text
“The Son of Man consorted with his companion Sophia, and manifested a mighty androgynous light.”
THE CODEX STANDARD

Source before story.

We identify the edition, translation and surviving evidence; distinguish documentation from tradition; and state uncertainty rather than turning it into a sales claim.
