Ell medico explica tambien que la genie del

que por superstition.
Por otra parte, la gran escasez de medicos
eompetentes y de hospitales medianamente dota-
dos, hace que ell pueblo recurra a suranderos y
al s~acrificio de animales para librarse de las en-.
fermedades.
Los medicos temen ademas que por falta de

FL doctor Labib dijo, que espera pronto mott
cias del professor Quispel, sobre los arreglos para
la publication del nuevo Evangelio, Ell que sera
impreso por la Casa Brill de Holanda.
Los gnosticos, de quienes los manuscritos
derivan SUI nombre, fueron una secta que flo
recio en- los principles de la Era Cristiana y que
fue declarada hereje, por s~ostener que Ell CANT
no a la salvation dependia, no de la fe, sino del
co%nocimiento.
Los ~gnosticos decian que Ell conocimiento de
Jesucristo, de SUI persona y de sus %acciones, cons
tituian la dnica base de la salvation.
Los manucristos estan archivados en- ell Museo
Copto.
Tan solo una parte del primer volumen,
Suiza, pero pronto sera devuelta a la collection
de Ell Cairo.
Los papiros de cada volumen, cuando fueron
encontrados, estaban mutilados por la accion del
tempo y de los insectos, pero desde entonces han
sido restaurados cast por complete, a fuerza de
trabajo de gran p~aciencia. A continuation, cada
hoja fue montada en- una plancha metalica para
su preservation.
Afortunadamente, las veinte paginas del ma
nuscrito del Evangelio de Tomas, eran las menos
danadas y los filologos encargados del trabajo,
pudieron salvar las lagunas que presentaba ell
texto.
Cuando la Comision de Filologos Sc reuni6,

FL pueblo ignorante de ciertas ~regiones del
Pakistan Oriental, cree que la diosa Sitla Dew,
baja cada ano del cielo, para p~urificar al genera
humane, llevandose a los elementos indeseables.

tangible de epidemias como la del colera morbus
y la viruela que, con la sequia, son Ell azote que
castiga a esta parte del subcontinente indio, con
SUI densa poblaci6n.
La viruela Sc extiende rapidamente en- estos
momentos por siete de las II provincias del Pa
kistan Oriental. Veinte mil personals han muer-
to de la %enfermedad, desde ell primero de enero
de 1857, y es incontable ell numero de las que
