11SACRED TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRISTTranslated by G. R. S. MeadPreviously titled Pistis SophiaArchive NoteThe unique manuscript of the Coptic Gnostic document commonly called 'Pistis Sophia' was bought by the British Museum in 1785 from the heirs of Dr. Askew, and is now catalogued as MS. Add. 5114. The title 'Piste Sophia' is incorrect. Nowhere is this form found in the very numerous instances of the name in the text.The writing as a whole is the work of two scribes, whose entirely different hands are very clearly distinguishable.Note on ReproductionThis text is from the revised first edition published in 1896.
