The following information is about Nag Hammadi.

Nag Hammadi Defined

Site in the Egyptian desert where other ancient texts, the so called 'Gnostic Gospels', were discovered in 1945. By 1948 they were purchased by the Cairo Coptic Museum. An international team of, mostly French, scholars made no progress at all in publishing these works, and was replaced in 1956. This effort was interrupted by the Suez crisis and other matters intervened. In 1966 a new international team of scholars was formed, headed by James M. Robinson of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity at the Claremont Graduate School, California. By 1973 the entire Library of documents was in draft English translation and circulating among interested scholars for criticism and review. In 1977 the entire body of the Nag Hammadi codices was published, in facsimile and a popular edition. This occupied a total of forth-six books plus fragments.
Unlike the Dead Sea Scrolls, these have all been published, though not on the Web, by the team assembled by Robinson for that purpose.

It begins with the true story of a journalist in the Second World War. His life changes inexplicably after he meets with a mysterious man, who leaves him with a series of profound writings ? one being a firsthand account of Judas? life with Jesus and the events leading up to the betrayal.
