Its overlap with PaleoJudaica's interests is tangential, so I don't link to their posts often. But it is worth noting that one of the new texts is based on material in the Testament of Solomon and another is a Coptic fragment of the apocryphal Letter of Jesus to King Abgar. I didn't know that the latter existed in Coptic. There is also a prayer attributed to the Virgin Mary.
For more on the Testament of Solomon see here and here and links. For more on the real King Abgar V and his fake correspondence with Jesus, see here and links.
