glossaries: Nag Hammadi Codex II (volume I, edited by Bentley Layton), Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1989. 13. The primary Spanish edition of Thomas and Philip, translated directly from the Coptic with introductory material, extensive bibliographies and annotations: Los Evangelios Apócrifos (edited and translated by Aurelio de Santos Otero), Madrid: Biblioteca de Autores Cristianos, 7ª edición 1991. 14. I have based my translation of Philip on the Coptic text, amply annotated with fully indexed glossaries: Das Evangelium nach Philippos (edited and translated by Walter Till), Berlin: Walter De Gruyter (www.degruyter.de), 1963; online: www.metalog.org/files/till.html; author of the Koptische Dialektgrammatik (1994), Till has done us the inestimable service of parsing the Coptic text, so that e.g. the continuous manuscript line 100.25 (from saying 7) netsite6n-tprw4auws66m-p4wm is deciphered as net.site 6n- t.prw 4a.u.ws6 6m- p.4wm, and is thus readily interpreted as ‘those-who.sow in the.winter habitually.they.reap in the.summer’ (www.metalog.org/files/till/w-till-01.gif). 15. A superlative English edition of the Gospel of Truth, extensively annotated with an expansive introductory essay: The Gospel of Truth, A Valentinian Meditation on the Gospel (edited and translated by Kendrick Grobel), New York: Abingdon Press; London: Black, 1960. 16. I based my translation of the Gospel of Truth on the standard scholarly edition, with introduction, Coptic text, English translation, copious notes and fully- indexed glossaries: Nag Hammadi Codex I (two volumes, edited by Harold W. Attridge), Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1985; Coptic text online: www.metalog.org/files/truth.html. 17. NB The best Greek/English interlinear and lexicon of the New Testament canon, with super-linear textual variants and sub-linear ultraliteral translation: Concordant Greek Text and The Greek Elements (both edited by Adolph Ernst Knoch), Santa Clarita CA 91350 USA: Concordant Publishing Concern (www.concordant.org), 4th edition 1975 (sample page: www.metalog.org/files/ knoch.gif). 18. A work of extraordinary breadth and insight regarding the basic parameters of Biblical metaphysics, as contrasted with Greek and Western: Claude Tresmontant, A Study of Hebrew Thought, New York, Tournai, Paris, Rome: Desclee Company, 1960; see ‘Angel, Image and Symbol’, Comm.4. 19. The hypertext version of this work, plus the parallel Spanish edition, are at 12
www.metalog.org. 20. ‘The History of the Coptic Language’ (by Hany N. Takla): www.metalog.org/ files/coptic.html. 21. Various editions of the Bible: www.biblegateway.com; see also #24. 22. The magisterial Liddell-Scott-Jones-McKenzie Greek Lexicon online: www.perseus.tufts.edu; included in #29. 23. Essential in New Testament studies is the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece, Stuttgart: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 1979 ff.; www.ubs- translations.org; included in #29. 24. An excellent Spanish edition of the Bible, with copious notes, indexes, tables, maps and references (which unfortunately continues the use of the misnomer Jehová): Santa Biblia Reina-Valera (Edición de Estudio), Sociedades Bíblicas Unidas (www.labibliaweb.com), 1995. 25. A superb example of the increasing number of theological resources and links on the Net: The New Testament Gateway, www.ntgateway.com (maintained by Mark Goodacre). 26. I have added a number of parallels to the splendid Odes of St Solomon, a first-century Messianic text in Old Syriac discovered in 1909; online: www.earlychristianwritings.com/odes.html (translated by James Charlesworth). 27. The Shroud of Turin website, with extensive historical and scientific information plus many detailed images of the cloth (maintained by Barrie Schwortz): www.shroud.com; an online, computer-clarified ultraviolet image of the face on the Shroud, together with a summary of the ongoing scientific study of the relic and the latest Carbon-14 test results: www.metalog.org/files/shroud1.html. 28. A most useful world-wide listing of university internet pages: www.braintrack.com. 29. An invaluable collection of the most important editions of the Biblical scriptures in the original Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek, fully interlinked with translations into 25 modern languages plus many of the foremost reference works, all integrated into advanced programs for textual research, is available on a two-CD set from: www.bibleworks.com; NB the older but perfectly adequate edition BibleWorks 5 is available for only $10 plus postage. 30. The links in this edition are checked periodically by Xenu's Link Sleuth (freeware, by Tilman Hausherr): http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html. 13
