Gradual from Maundy Thursday to the Vigil of Pentecost
This illuminated Renaissance manuscript, officially named "Denison Library, Perkins 4. Gradual. s. XVI," is a choir book that contains Latin text and plainsong music sung by cantors and choir at the Roman Catholic Church mass. The book was created in northern France, probably Rouen, in the early 16th century.
The Nag Hammadi codices, thirteen ancient manuscripts containing over fifty religious and philosophical texts written in Coptic and hidden in an earthenware jar for 1,600 years, were accidentally discovered in upper Egypt in the year 1945. This immensely important discovery included a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures. These texts were once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy," scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth. The images in this collection were taken during the excavations and translation project of the 1970’s and record the environments surrounding excavations, visiting dignitaries, and the scholars working on the codices. The project has provided momentum to a major reassessment of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism.
