New coptic Manuscript.

Prof. Harnack, the eminent Berlin
theologian and authority on church his
tory, informed the Berlin Academy Of
Sciences at its last sitting that DR.. Karl
Schmidt. residir at Cairo, has recently
discovered a number of manuscripts of
he greatest importance to the ancient
history of the Christian church. Among
these is Gnostic work In a Coptic Ian
guage, dating from before the times of
the ancient Father Ireneas DIR. Rein
hardt. added Prof. Harnack, bought the
manuscript at Cairo some weeks ago
from a dealer in antiquities and sent 1t
to the Egyptian Museum in Berlin,
where it is now preserved with the ut
most care. 1t is in an almost complete
state of preservation.
The manuscript dates from the fifth
century of our era, and is Coptic
translation of three original Gnostic
writings of the second century. It's
value consists not only in the fact that |
II hands down to US those old Gnostic
writings that have hitherto been un-
known to us even In name, but, above

are those which give figures on the
number of human beings that have In

figures, the earth has been peopled by
no less than 66.627S4a, 3S7o7s, 400 human
