PISTIS SOPHIA
Coptic Text edited by Carl Schmidt; English translation by Violet MacDermot 
Published by E.J. Brill, 1978. 
This “gnostic” text purportedly relates the “post-resurrection teaching of Jesus,” “[d]iscourse by Jesus on his garments of light,” Jesus’ account “of his ascension wearing the garment of light; the rebellion of the aeons against the light, and the removal of power from those that rebelled.” It also contains discourses concerning the mysteries, i.e., rites, that enable the practitioner to escape the bonds of darkness. It provides a fascinating look into the world of primitive Christianity and thus provides insight into the views of early Christians on women, secular and sacerdotal power, knowledge and rival religious movements. 

THE BOOKS OF JEU AND THE UNTITLED TEXT IN THE BRUCE CODEX
Coptic Text edited by Carl Schmidt; English translation by Violet MacDermot 
Published by E.J. Brill, 1978. 
These texts are closely related to, and are perhaps mentioned in, the Pistis Sophia. Like that work, the Books of Jeu contain the teachings of Jesus to his disciples (men and women) about the creation of the world, its fall from glory, and the way back to light. Central to these texts are themes of secret teachings to be disclosed only to the worthy, and sacred rites, likewise withheld from the vulgar, that enable the soul to make its way back to the Pleroma. 

High and low resolution scans of Pistis Sophia and the Books of Jeu are included for the reader’s convenience
