EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beginning of the Gospel of Thomas, a significant text found in the Nag Hammadi Codex II. Created around 350 AD by an Egyptian artist, this ink on papyrus artwork measures 25.4x15.8 cm and is currently housed in the Coptic Museum in Cairo, Egypt. The Nag Hammadi Codex II holds great historical and religious importance as it contains various early Christian Gnostic texts written in the Sahidic dialect of the Coptic language. These texts shed light on alternative perspectives within Christianity during that time period. Intriguingly, this photograph captures not only a piece of ancient scripture but also offers us a glimpse into the world of manuscript preservation and study. The meticulous writing and intricate details present in this image highlight both the skillful craftsmanship of its creator and their dedication to preserving these sacred writings. As we explore this image further, we are reminded of how religion has played a vital role throughout history, shaping cultures and societies worldwide. The Gospel of Thomas serves as a testament to humanity's quest for spiritual understanding and enlightenment. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are invited to delve into our shared heritage while contemplating timeless questions about faith, spirituality, and our place within the vast tapestry of human existence.
