Robinson reports that a leather-bound codex containing the alleged 5th century Coptic version was excavated in Egypt and emerged on the antiquities market in 1983 at a price of $3 million. It was badly damaged and apparently at one point had been torn in half. It is now possessed by a group called the Maecenas Foundation, and in 2004 a Coptic expert named Rodolphe Kasser announced that he was reassembling and translating it.

To repress speech in the interest of curtailing blasphemy would be to subscribe to a particular religious dogma, which a liberal, secular government ought never...
...about our mutually destructive qualities. It’s because I know what happened to the last generation here. I walk the streets and see the ghosts of their passions and failures, and know that I must redeem this land and be redeemed by it. You and I are bound up in an irrational history that neither of us can understand, and I want you to know how I think about my legacy...
