Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Tier one: the standard critical edition of the Jung Codex, published in the Nag Hammadi Studies series with introductions, texts, translations and notes across two volumes. Its strength is that it is the scholarly critical edition of the manuscript itself, preserving the Gospel of Truth nearly complete in Coptic. NotesThe standard peer-reviewed critical edition of Codex I, produced by named specialist scholars in Brill's Nag Hammadi Studies series; reliable as the Coptic text, its translation and its scholarly apparatus, not as a settled claim about the historical Valentinus himself, which the editors leave open. Use for the Gospel of Truth's manuscript context (Codex I, the Jung Codex) and the same Nag Hammadi Studies series already carrying Pistis Sophia (source 15497) in this atlas.
