Thomas retains the translation from our study edition. The English texts of Mary, Peter and James reproduce Mark M. Mattison’s translations, which he dedicated to the public domain. The Russian texts were prepared separately with reference to the Coptic and Greek texts and comparison with the English translation. Each book identifies its basis and disputed passages.
The titles reflect the transmission of these works and do not by themselves establish authorship by the people they name.
