text:
The Askew Codex is a manuscript of parchment in quarto size, or 21 x 16,5 cm, held by the British Library, that contains Coptic translations of the Gnostic Pistis Sophia and parts of what G. R. S. Mead referred to as "extracts from The Books of the Savior." The codex was originally purchased by Anthony Askew, a London doctor and collector of old manuscripts, from a bookseller in 1772. The codex was purchased from the heirs of Askew by the British Museum in 1785. Its origin is most probably Egypt
