The Bruce Codex (Latin: Codex Brucianus) is a codex that contains Coptic, Arabic, and Ethiopic manuscripts. It contains rare Gnostic works; the Bruce Codex is the only known surviving copy of the Books of Jeu and another work simply called Untitled Text or the Untitled Apocalypse. In 1769, James Bruce purchased the codex in Upper Egypt.
The codex was given in 1661 by Parthenius, Patriarch of Constantinople, to Heneage Finch, Earl of Winchelesa, British Ambassador at the court of sultan. [3] It was known as Codex Bodleianus 5. It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Johann Jakob Wettstein. [4] [5] It was examined by Mill (as Bodleianus 7) and Griesbach. [2]
The Bodleian Library obtained the codex in 1848, and in 1886 they bound the texts together. [9] Between Woide's transcription of the codex and the 1970s, seven leaves disappeared altogether, and there is significant damage throughout the manuscripts. [10] Among the texts in the Bruce Codex were the Untitled Text and the Books of Jeu.

It is believed that the Sahidic Coptic of the Codex version is a translation, however, and the original was written in Koine Greek in the early 3rd century. This estimate is because the Pistis Sophia mentions the two books of Jeu twice (158.18 and 228.35), suggesting that the Books of Jeu were written before it, and the Pistis Sophia is dated ...
