Epistle of Eugnostos
The Epistle of Eugnostos is one of many Gnostic tractates from the Nag Hammadi library, discovered in Egypt in 1945. The Nag Hammadi codices contains two full copies of this tractate.
The text is devoid of any specifically Christian themes or associations, and simply describes the esoteric cosmology of the gnostics. The similarity with the cosmology in Sophia of Jesus Christ, has led many [citation needed] to believe that that work was an adaption of this Epistle for a Christian audience.
