Dr. Elaine Pagels is one of many who worked on translating a cache
|
||
of codices found near Jabal al-Tarif, a section of cliff on the
|
||
right bank marking the limit of the Nile valley and the arable land
|
||
between Chenobskeia and Pabau. The fruit of that effort is recorded
|
||
in a volume entitled:
|
||
|
||
The Nag Hammadi Library in English

I believe, however, that it is the Infancy Gospels of "The Lost Books
|
||
of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden" that contain the relating
|
||
of the events that you have described in your note. As far as I
|
||
know all three of these works are currently available or orderable
|
||
through most booksellers.
|
||
|
||
|
||
What follows is a listing of the contents of
|
||
|
||
"The Lost Books of The Bible and The Forgotten Books of Eden",
|
||
|
||
"The Nag Hammadi Library", and
|
||
|
||
"The Apocrypha".
