The texts provide a fascinating glimpse into the religious ideas and practices of the time, and shed new light on the formation of the New Testament canon. The volume is edited by Eugène Revillout, a French Egyptologist and Coptologist who made significant contributions to the study of early Christianity in Egypt.
