Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Published by Brill as A. F. J. Klijn's standard critical edition and English translation with full commentary, the second revised edition of his 1962 original, treated at the top tier as that standard critical scholarly edition. NotesThe standard peer-reviewed critical edition, reconstructing a composite Syriac text against the Greek witnesses with full philological apparatus; reliable as the text, its variants and Klijn's own commentary, not as an argument for any particular theological reading of the work. Use for the Acts of Thomas' structure, dating, original-language question and its Hymn of the Pearl commentary; the Brill critical-edition series counterpart to the Nag Hammadi Studies volumes already cited elsewhere in this atlas.
