Note 104 — INTRODUCTION

Schmidt and Lichtenhaus in the articles above quoted attribute many of the discrepancies in the story of Pistis Sophia to the supposed fact that the translator or the scribe was working on several different documents or on different recensions of one document. This is likely enough; but as its details savour of the textual criticisms or, as it seems to me, the guess work which has given us the “polychrome” Bible, I have thought it best not to dwell further upon it.
