| Summary: | Nag Hammadi Codex VIII (CG VIII, NHC VIII). Cairo, Coptic Museum, Department of Manuscripts, inv. 10550. Formerly the manuscript was numbered Codex VII by Doresse-Mina, IX by Puech, and IV by Doresse, Les Livres secrets (see Robinson, Facsimile Edition: Codex VIII, pp. vii and ix). Papyrus codex, very imperfect. Original folios were 242 mm high by 147 mm wide. Prior to conservation many leaves or leaf fragments of the codex were in several pieces; these have now been repaired. The text block was attached to its ancient binding (or in loose fragments) until 1961; now it has been completely disbound, and the quire sheets (cut apart into leaves in 1961, but then rejoined between 1970-76) are conserved in plexiglas frames, numbered by the ancient codex page numbers |
