Coptic Apocryphal Gospels: Translations Together With The Texts Of Some Of Them is a book written by James Robinson and Montague Rhodes James Forbes, first published in 1896. The book is a collection of translations of various apocryphal gospels that were written in Coptic, a language used by early Christians in Egypt. The book includes translations of the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of the Egyptians, and several other texts. Each translation is accompanied by the original Coptic text, as well as notes and commentary by the authors.
