BF, what's the copyright status on this material? --STG

Not sure. It was on a gnostic web site without any clear indications. btw, I have read this book it comes from, so it may be a prob, but it also may not because the source for the translation comes from scrolls dated in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D. To put a picture of the scrolls is no different than to show the translation. I'm not exactly sure how this works, but it's definitely, and upgrade for New Age, as Larry Sanger asked. I've only just begun to show the depth of knowledge and the sources they come from on that topic, contrary to my earlier revelations, which were based on years of study in many key slanted areas revised into meaningless drivel by scared people who think they really have a clue what New Age is about =)


[1] There is no good reason, that I can see, to think that this translation is public domain. Is there any that you can see? --LMS

The translation can be found on http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/sjc.html and there is no reference any place on the site about copyrights. James Robinson and Elaine Pagels are some of the many translators of the Nag Hammadi scrolls, they did not write them. Since they are as old as the New Testament, isn't this like saying we can't quote any scripture here ? ~BF

No, it's not. Translation is an active process that results in a new work, which can (and usually is) subject to copyright law, just as other works are. Also, note that the publish date is 1990; it's virtually unimaginable to think that this isn't under copyright. Given this, I'm going to nuke the page; if I'm wrong, we can always recover it from the prior revision. -- EdwardOConnor
