THE COPTIC GOSPEL OF JUDAS is the subject of a press release by the Coptic Museum in Cairo. It includes an update on the manuscript's whereabouts, current study of it, and plans for its publication in 2006. There's also a tiny photograph of the codex and several pages of the transcribed Coptic with Charles Hedrick's translation.



UPDATE: Stephen Goranson comments on the press release on the Textual Criticism list. He is unsure whether the codex photo is of the Gospel of Judas. Anybody know?

UPDATE (20 June): Goranson emails to confirm that the book is not the Gospel of Judas. It is "The Book of the Four Gospels. It contains a golden portrait of John the Evangelist. It is taken from Abu Sefeen Church (623 H/ 1220 AD)" and is pictured here.
