uNrquE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FORNAG TIAMMADI TEXTS: CGn z-7,III 5AND XIIIz*

An extensive photographic record of the Nag Hammadi Codices

was begun even before the Egyptian Department of Antiquities

acquired the collection.r The photographs, which were made by

various people, working independently, have been of great impor'

rance in the restoradon of the manuscripts. They not only provide

clues to the original order of the fragmentary sections of the manu-

scripts, but also preserve some Passages of text thar are now less

legible than before, as well as fragments now wholly missing. Some

thus provide unique textual attestation no longer preserved on thepapyrus.

This evidence has often been incorporated imo The FacsimileEdition of the Nag Hammadi Codices.z Three methods have been used :printing rhe whole of an early photograph, splicing a part of an earlyphotograph onto a more recent one, or using an early photographas a model for re-touching a later one with paint. But because of theinherent limitations of printed facsimiles, scholars collating the NagHammadi texts will also want to have access to the exact readings ofthese passages, based on an examination of the original negatives andprints, especially where they have not been incorporated into The

I The coll€clion rs now available for study in i$ entirety ar the Coptic Museum ioold Cairo. The lasr of the folios of Codex I (rhe Jung Codex) rhat had been taken out ofEgypr in l94s were officially rerumed on October lz,l97t

Facsimile Edition. This article is the first insrallment of a colladon ofevery passage in rhe collection that is now best preserved only inphorographs.a

. I give here a transcription of these passages in their most fullydocumented srate, and indicate how ro find the photographs inquestion. The (l) part or parts of each passage now best preserved, oronly preserved, in photographs are underlined.a The (2) sigla indicatethe photographs in which the underlined par.s are preserved. Thenare listed (3) published facsimiles thar reproduce the photographicdocumentation, in decreasing order ofusefulness. Where my readingsdiffer from any of the published facsimiles, the discrepancy is inten-tional and it should be assumed that the facsimile is somehow mis-Ieading.5 The sigla for the photographs and the abbreviations for rhepublicadons are given below.

This installment is limited ro rracrares that are to be publishedin a single volume of rhe series Nag Hammadi Studies-B For the recon-struction of lacunas and the decipherment of uncertain letrers I havemade frequent use of the forthcoming editions of these texrs. I wouldlike to express my grarirude ro the various edirors responsible forthese conjec res and to Prof. James M. Robinson, the general editorof The Coptic Gnostic Library,l for making them available ro me. I amalso personally indebred to Mr. Victor Girgis, the Director of theCoptic Museum in Old Cairo, and to Mr. Makram Girgis Garas, themuseum photographer, who never hesitated in giving me access tothephotographic negatives and prints in the possession ofthe museum,and to Mrs. Samiha Abd El-Shaheed, the Curator of Manuscripts, and

study of the manuscript itself. The results of the two are not

always clearly distinguished in his collations. Thus I refer to

his collations with words like "apparently" and "implies" in

order to indicate those parts that should not be understood as

having been based on old photographs.

The second installment of this collationr is devoted primarily to frraApooyphon of Johz in Nag Hammadi Codex II, to which I hav€ added therest of my collation of Codex III: and my collation of Codex IV. Myconcern, as before, is with those passages of text that are now preservedmore completely in photographs than on the papyrus leaves themselves.Thus I give here a transcription of these passages in their most fuUy docu-mented state ahd indicate how to find the photographs that provide thisdocumentation. The (l) part or parts of each passage now best, or only,preserved in photographs are underlined. The (2) sigla indicate thc photo-graphs in which the underlined parts are preserved. Then are listed (3)published facsimiles that reproduce the photographic documentation, indecreasing order of usefulness.

I am especially indebted to Dr. Frederik Wisse for permitting me tomake use of his reconstructions of the texts of The Apocryphon ofJohninCodices II and IV, His generosity enabled me to complete my work on thisinstallment during a trip to Caho in October-December 1976, when onceagain I enjoyed the hospitality of the staff of the Coptis Muscum.

UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR NAGHAMMADI TEXTS:

CG I 1_JIn Memoriam Dieter Mueller

This third installment of my collations based on old photographs ofthe Nag Hammadi Codicesr is devoted entirely to Codex I (the JungCodex) and was completed in conjunction with my work in Cairo on thepreparation of The Facsimile Edition of the Nag Hammadi Codices:Codex 12 in October-December 1976. The numeration ofthe tractates andof the first and last extant leaves of the codex are according to that edition.3

My concern, as before, is with those passages of text that are nowpreserved more completely in photographs than on the papyrus leavesthemselves. Thus I give here a transcription of these passages in their mostfully documented state and indicate how to find the photogaphs thatprovide this documentation. The ( l) part or parts ofeach passage now best,or only, preserved in photographs are underlined.a The (2) sigla indicate thephotographs in which the underlined parts are preserved. Then are listed(3) published facsimiles that reproduce the photographic documentation,in decreasing order of usefulness.

I The tlro previous installments, the first of which contains a brief introductory'staterhent

of the problem being dealt with, have appeared in this journal: vol. l4 ( 1977) 109-l2l contains rny collations of CC ll ?-7, III S and Xlll2*; vol. l5 (1978) 195-205 contains mycollat ioru of CC l l 1. l l l l -4atrdlv I-2.

2 Published under the auspices of the Department of Antiquities of the Arab Republicof Egypt in conjunction with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and CulturalOrganization (UNESCO) (Leiden 1977).

3 Th.oughout the followidg collations my indebtedness to thc admirable editioprinceps oI Codex l, and especially that of the ve.y difficult fifth tractate(see Ka.rand Ka.2 inthe list of abbreviations below), is implicii.

4 Paleographical notes that may follow the transcription are, for the most part,concemed only wirh the unique photographic evidence and not with the extant t€xt,

_ The scribe who copied most of Codex.l{all but tractate y') displays alarge.repertoire of shapes and positions both for the superlinea. st.ot" urrdfor the articulation mark but draws upon it erraiically *ii i,ru, u.ruapparent systematic distinctions. For this reason my transcrlption, ao no,treproduce the superlineation and pointing exactly as it aipears in themanuscript. I have standardized the lengths and posiiions ot. thesuperlinear strokes, though only to the extent required for typesetting, andI have transcribed all articulation marks as raised points, in imitation oitfrescribe's most frequent habit.


I. PhotographsA = photographs made for UNESCO in 1962 1966 under rhe

auspices of the Center of Documentation in Cairo. A set of.thenegatives is kept in the Nag Hammadi Archive at the Insrrtutefor Antiquity and Christianity.s ths photographic plate numberis -given after the siglum only when the photograih cannot bereferred to conveniently by the manuscript page number. The setof prints kept by the Curator of Manuscripts inthelibrary oftheCoptic Museum is complete for Codex l.

C : photographs made for the Coptic Museum in 1952 and 1956 byBoulos Farag. (Those made in 1952 were published in Labib; seebelow in the list of publications.) The negatives are kept in thephotographer,s studio at the Coptic Museum together with anearly complete set of prints. The numbers by which thenegatrves are stored are always given after the siglum. Thesenumbers are recorded in Arabic script both on the negativesthemselves and on the backs of the corresponding prints. Anincomplete set of prints is kept at the Instituie for Antiquity anOChristianity, where they are stored by manuscript page numberonly.

D = photographs made for Jean Doresse in l94j_1949. Anlncomplete set of negatives and prints (the full extent of thisseries of photographs is not publicly known) is kept at theInstitute for Antiquity and Christianity. The manusciipt pagenumbers, by which the photographs are stored, are always givenafter the siglurn as well as the relevant codex number wlen thiswill not be obvious to the reader. The D photographs ofCodex Icompnse several different groups of photographs, all of whichrecord the papyrus in the same state of preservation. The most

Meier,then Director of the Jung Institute in Ziirich, Switzerland, andwhich is now kept at the Institute for Antiquity and Christianityunder the siglum DM. DM 1371 138, a photograph notduplicated in any of the other groups, shows more than ahundred fragments in considerable disorder. To facilitatereference to these I indicate the quadrant of the photograph rnwhich a particular fragment is to be found (e.g. upper right,lower left. etc.).

H = photographs made for the Technical Sub-Committee of theUNESCO International Committee for the Nag HammadiCodices in December l972by Basile Psiroukis. The negativesarekept at the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity. Thephotographic plate number is given after the siglum only whenthe photograph cannot be referred to conveniently by themanuscript page number,

K = photographs made for Martin Krause in .1959-1961 by RolfHerzog. The negatives are kept at the German ArcheologicalInstitute in Cairo. The numbers by which the negativ€s arestored (37-l13, l8l-200) are always given after the siglum. Acomplete set of prints of these negatives is kept at the Institutelor Ant iqu i ty and Chr is t ian i ty .

UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR NAGHAMMADI TEXTS:

CG V_VIII

This is the fourth installment of my collations based on oldphotographs of the Nag Hammadi Codices.r Myconcern, as before, is withthose passages of text that are now preserved more completely inphotographs than on the papyrus leaves themselves. Thus I give here atranscription of these passages in their most fully documented state andindicate how to find the photographs that provide this documentation.2The (l) part or parts of each passage now best, or only, preserved inphotographs are ggg$!!49g[.] The (2) sigla indicate the photographs inwhich the underlined parts are preserved. Then are listed (3) publishedfacsimiles that reproduce the photographic evidence, in decreasing order ofusefulness.a

Once again I must express my thanks to Prof. James M. Robinson andto the individual editors working with him for their willingness to shareeditions of the texts treated here prior to their publication in The Coptic

UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR NAGHAMMADI TEXTS: CG IX_XIII 1*

This is the fifth and final installment of my collations based on oldphotographs of the Nag Hammadi Codices.r My concern, as before, is withthose passages of text that are now preserved more completely inphotographs than on the papyrus leaves themselves. Thus I give here atranscription of these passag€s in their most fully documented state andindicate how to find the photographs that provide this documentation.2The (l) part or parts of each passage now best, or only, preserved inphotographs are uldgdilgd.r The (2) sigla indicate the photographs inwhich the underlined parts are preserved.

UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR NAGHAMMADI TEXTS: CORRECTIONS

BASP 15 (1978) 258, entry for 78:22: The quotation from 82:21should read r.lmft-[Tn:<.rc I z HT' etc. This, however, is nolan instance of rcrc I eHT without MNT- . for here uNrstands for mNrx, a peculiarity of spelling clearly attestedelsewhere in this text, e.g. 78:30, 85:36, 110:8.

Hence if the proposed restoration of 78:22 is tobe maintained the phrase would have to be translatedsomething like, "the arrogant part of his nature," in contrastto nerxHx N.req (78:18), " the perfect part of his nature."

3. Addendum to "Unique Photographic Evidence" for NHC XI

Turner's edition of Val. Exp. incorporates tw'o pieces of uniquephotographic evidence for the text that I overiooked in my collation ofpassages in the Nag Hammadi Codices for which such evidencesurvives (B, SP 16 119791 263-75, esp. pp. 277-72), as follows:

33:21 up r,r! 1T [a (tT read in photographs; dotied H; the reading is

almost certain) A 66, E Hand 1 flm 1.

34:21 wp I.x ( rea,l in photographs; the trace is the top of a verticalstroke, angiing slightlv to the upper left, possibly from L, x, t,or A, or from the right-hand stroke of H, M, N, o, Q, or q) A 65,

E Hand I frm ;.

For the position of the relevant fragment see F4cs. Ed.: lntroduction, pLs.15-/16-, and the papyrus. Although Facs. Ed.: Codices Xl, XII and XIII(Leiden 1973), pls. 39/40, reproduces this photographic evidence, inneither nlace is the reproduction reliable.20
