Berlin Codex

The Berlin Codex is one of the key Gnostic manuscript witnesses from late antique Egypt. Preserved in Coptic, it gathers a set of revelatory and dialogical texts attributed to figures such as Mary Magdalene, John, and Sophia, reflecting streams of early Christian and Gnostic teaching that developed alongside the traditions that later became orthodox.

Within Codex Reborn in The Vault, this collection presents digital editions of the surviving Berlin Codex texts, including the Gospel of Mary and related writings. Each piece is formatted for clarity and basic readability, with minimal editorial intervention so that the structure and voice of the manuscripts can be encountered directly.

These works are offered for study and reflection rather than as a replacement canon. They are preserved here to make visible the range of early Christian and Gnostic perspectives, and to support readers who wish to explore how questions of revelation, authority, and the soul were understood outside the later official boundaries of the Church.
