| Summary: | Codex IX is part of a collection of twelve papyrus codices, plus one tractate from a thirteenth, discovered in December of 1945 in a jar buried at the base of the Gebel et-?arif near the village of Hamra Dom in Upper Egypt, about 10 km. northeast of Nag ?ammadi. (On the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Codices see J. M. Robinson's Introduction to The Nag Hammadi Library, pp. 21-23.) It is now the property of the Coptic Museum in Old Cairo, and bears the inventory number 10553. It has been numbered VIII by J. Doresse and T. Mina in 1949 ("Nouveaux textes gnostiques," p. 136), X by H.-C. Puech in 1950 ("Les nouveaux črits gnostiques," p. 108), IV by S. Giversen in 1958 (in an unpublished microfilm dated January 9 of that year) and by B. van Regemorter in 1960 ("La reliure des manuscrits gnostiques"), V by J. Doresse in 1958 (Les livres secrets, p. 165), and IX by M. Krause in 1962 ("Der koptische Handschriftenfund," p. 128 et passim). Krause's numbering of the Nag Hammadi codices is the official numbering used by the Coptic Museum and in the Facsimile Edition, and is therefore adopted in this edition |
