Bruce Codex Also known as Codex Brucianus. A name given to a group of Coptic, Arabic, and Ethiopic papyri that contain the gnostic Books of Jeu and an untitled text, perhaps dating to the fifth or sixth century.
James Bruce purchased the codex, which consisted of 78 papyrus leaves (156 pages) that were unbound at the time, in upper Egypt in 1769. Since the leaves were unbound when purchased, and since multiple scribal hands have been identified, it appears that what is now known as the Bruce Codex was originally at least two independent codices. It was purchased by the Bodleian Library at Oxford in 1848.
The Bruce Codex is one of several codices that originated in Egypt and contain gnostic literature, including the Codex Tchacos, Berlin Codex, Askew Codex, and the Nag Hammadi codices.
