Stranger (Allogenes ) Introduction, translation, and commentary on the fourth text from Codex Tchacos

Przemysław Piwowarczyk

Abstract

The fourth text from Codex Tchacos, conventionally labelled as ‘(The Book of ) the Stranger’ (Allogenes), is the only known manuscript of this particular work. It bears traces of Judeo-Christian influences, probably of Syrian origin. Its relationship to the Gnostic traditions is less certain. Although preserved in a deplorable state, it still features a few discernable narratives. The most interesting of them is a variation about Jesus being tempted by Satan on the mountain, the topic only rarely present in the early Christian literature.
