Contents
Efforts at dating
The books are estimated as written during a period spanning 100 A.D to 300 A.D (approximately), in the time of the Roman rule of Egypt.[1] perhaps toward the latter end of this period.[2]
Contents
It seems probable that the Gnostic texts were written intended for the involvement of initiatory rituals.[3]
The writings are in two books and are stated as taken from the speech of Jesus (of Nazareth) to an unknown number of disciples at a time after the former's rising from the dead . [2]
Context
The books are a part of the Bruce Codex (located within the Bodleian Library), and were originally written in the Coptic language.[4]
