= Extremely rare first edition in Coptic with a Latin translation (no copy traced on the market nor in the auction records). "Pistis Sophia (Koine Greek: Ðßóôéò Óïößá) is a Gnostic text discovered in 1773, possibly written between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. (...) Pístis Sophía has been preserved in a single Coptic language manuscript originally comprising 178 leaves of parchment, but currently consisting of 174 leaves. This "Askew Codex" was purchased by the British Museum (now British Library) in 1785 from collector Anthony Askew (...) Until the discovery of the Nag Hammadi library in 1945, the Askew Codex was one of three codices that contained almost all of the Gnostic writings that had survived the suppression of such literature both in East and West, the other two codices being the Bruce Codex and the Berlin Codex. Aside from these primary sources, everything written about gnosticism before the Nag Hammadi library became available is based on quotes, characterizations, and caricatures in the writings of the enemies of Gnosticism."(quoted from Wikipedia).
