CODEX Tchacos

The Codex Tchacos is an ancient manuscript dating from the 3rd or 4th century, written on papyrus. It is notable for containing early Christian writings, including the Gospel of Judas, which presents a different view of Judas Iscariot’s role in Jesus' story. Discovered in the 1970s, the codex gained awareness in the early 2000s after being restored and studied, shedding light on early Christian diversity and beliefs. Today, it is regarded as a valuable historical artifact that provides insights into early Christian thought and the variety of texts circulating in that era.
