I had heard of the Gospel of Thomas, parts of which are very beautiful.
I wonder about the translations, which sound thoroughly Elizabethan, rather than modern. All those "whithers" and "thous."
In contrast, the translation of Mary Magdalene as shown on those pages seems refreshingly modern.
I'm wondering when these fragments were found.
