A Digitization of the Gospel of Nicodemus in the Original Greek

Post by kylefoley76 »

This is a digitization of the famous Gospel of Nicodemus in the original Greek. This is the one where Christ descends into Hell and sets the sinners free. It was a big hit in the Middle Ages.

It was taken from a book published in 1876 by Tischendorff which can be found here:

The translation of the text was published in 1924 by M.R. James and can easily be found on numerous sites on the internet with a little bit of Googling. But a digitization of only the Greek portion of James translation can be found here:

There is also a Latin translation of the Greek in the Tieschendorff text which I have of scanned. It is actually better, much more vivid and colorful, so you might want to read that if you're so inclined.

Interesting. I'd never heard of it. I'll give it a read shortly. It starts on page 301 of the Tischendorff volume, and is titled there: "Evangelium Nicodemi Pars II sive Descensus Christi ad Inferos"

I notice an accent issue in the first paragraph of your digitization: should be ζῶντες
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”

Yea, there are a lot of scannoes. I'm glad you find the text intriguing and I'm glad I could be of service to the Ancient Greek speaking community.
