The text is not complete. Originally in Greek and translated to Coptic. Imitates other texts as the Wisdom of Solomon. After resurrection, twelve disciples and seven women who followed Jesus. Saviour appears to them in spiritual form ‘a great angel of light”.
Dialogue is short answers long. Similar to Eugnostos the Blessed. About the Universe and plan of salvation. How one appears to the perfect ones, perishable and imperishable.
