http://gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html The Gospel of Thomas (also
known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is a non-canonical sayings
gospel. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December
1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library.
Scholars speculate that the works were buried in response to a
letter from Bishop Athanasius declaring a strict canon of
Christian scripture. Scholars have proposed dates of composition
as early as AD 60 and as late as AD 140. The Coptic-language
text, the second of seven contained in what modern-day scholars
have designated as Codex II, is composed of 114 sayings
attributed to Jesus. In the Gnostic Christian tradition, Christ
is seen as a divine being which has taken human form in order to
lead humanity back to the Light. The usual meaning of gnostikos
in Classical Greek texts is "learned" or "intellectual". Art
