Inhaltsangabe

The Gospel according to PhilipIt is a Gnostic gospel, probably of the Valentinian school, written in Coptic in the second half of the 2nd century, probably from a lost Gre- ek original. The pseudepigraphic attribution is to Philip the Apostle. It contains some sayings of Jesus, and pays particu- lar attention to the teachings on the sacraments, to which it adds that of the "bridal chamber." Lost with the extinction of Gnosticism, not mentioned by the Fathers of the Church, a thirty-five page manuscript dating back to the 4th century was found in 1945 among the codices of Nag Hammadi (codice II, tractate 3)
