Lost Gospels, Secret Revelations,
and the Recovery of Gnosis

The Nag Hammadi Library is one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century — a sealed jar of ancient Gnostic manuscripts unearthed near the Nile in 1945.

Within these codices are secret gospels, mystical treatises, and cosmic revelations that were hidden from the orthodox canon. Here, you will find the preserved voices of a suppressed tradition — rendered in sacred formatting for the digital temple of The Gnostic Key.

Codex I, known as the Jung Codex, was the first to be acquired after the discovery, gifted to the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich. It contains five treatises, including meditations on truth, resurrection, and Valentinian theology.

Codex II is perhaps the most famous of the Nag Hammadi manuscripts, containing the Gospel of Thomas, the Apocryphon of John, and other foundational Sethian works. These texts map the divine realms, reveal the origin of the archons, and speak in the voice of hidden wisdom.

Codex III preserves early Christian and Sethian works, including dialogues with the Saviour, revelations of Sophia, and mythic accounts of the world's origin. These writings interweave poetry, cosmogony, and initiatory teaching.

Codex IV contains an expanded account of the secret revelation to John, alongside a Sethian gospel that celebrates the cosmic order and divine origins of humanity.

Codex V gathers visionary revelations and martyr-teachings, including apocalypses attributed to Paul, James, and Adam, together with the wisdom treatise Eugnostos.

Codex VI blends apostolic acts, visionary hymns, and Hermetic dialogues. It includes the poetic voice of the divine feminine, esoteric teachings on cosmic power, and Platonic philosophy adapted for Gnostic initiation.

Codex VII preserves a rich blend of Sethian revelations, apocalyptic visions, moral instruction, and mystical hymns. These works present cosmic battles, spiritual ascent, and the mysteries of the divine order.

Codex VIII preserves a major Sethian visionary ascent text alongside an apostolic letter urging unity and steadfastness in the face of opposition.

Codex IX contains a royal priestly revelation, a brief poetic hymn to the saviour figure Norea, and a polemical treatise contrasting true knowledge with false belief.

Codex X preserves the complex revelatory discourse of Marsanes, a Sethian text exploring cosmology, the soul’s ascent, and the nature of the spiritual elite.

Codex XI brings together Valentinian sacramental teaching, a Sethian visionary ascent text, and a short enigmatic dialogue. It explores the mysteries of anointing, baptism, and the Eucharist, as well as the journey of the soul beyond the cosmic rulers.

Codex XII contains a collection of ethical maxims, a poetic gospel of mystical insight, and surviving fragments from other lost works.

Codex XIII contains a revelatory hymn of the divine First Thought in three forms, alongside an alternate version of the mythic creation account found in Codex II.
