The standard one-volume English translation of the complete Nag Hammadi find, produced by the Coptic Gnostic Library Project with James M. Robinson as general editor, each tractate introduced by its own translator. The third, completely revised edition added an afterword surveying scholarship since the first 1977 printing.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Published by HarperSanFrancisco as James M. Robinson's standard scholarly edition and translation of the Nag Hammadi texts, assembled and reviewed by an internationally recognized team of specialists, the established academic reference translation for the field. NotesA peer-reviewed scholarly translation produced by the Coptic Gnostic Library Project, each tractate introduced by its own specialist translator; reliable as the translated text and its scholarly framing, not as one unified interpretive voice across the whole collection, since each introduction carries its own contributor's judgment. Use for the translated content of any Nag Hammadi tractate, including the Gospel of Truth (Attridge and MacRae's introduction and translation).
