Information About

Allogenes




Allogenes is a Sethian Gnostic text from the New Testament Apocrypha . The main surviving copies come from the Nag Hammadi Library , though there are many missing lines. A small fragment also survives in the more recently discovered Codex Tchacos , which may prove mildly useful in filling the gaps.

The text concerns revelations to Allogenes., meaning " a different family/nation" Allogenes proceeds to describe how he overcame fear and ignorance, and ascended to the esoteric realm of the God of the Gnostics.
