Old sources[edit]

I believe the following older works discuss the Acts of Thaddaeus:

Schoedel, William R. (1979). "Of the First Apocalypse of James". Pan. 36: 1–6. Note: Haxby, Mikael C. (2013). The First Apocalypse of James: Martyrdom and Sexual Difference (Thesis). Harvard University. p. 1. Retrieved 9 September 2017. cites this as Schoedel, William R. (1979). "Of the First Apocalypse of James". In Perrott, Douglas M. (ed.). Nag Hammadi Codices V,2–5 and VI with Papyrus Berolinensis 8502, 1 and 4. Leiden: Brill. p. 65–104., but that "book" title appears to only be a brief chapter in another work, namely Parrott, Douglas M. "Nag Hammadi Codices V,2–5 and VI with Papyrus Berolinensis 8502,1 and 4". In Robinson, Gesine Schenke; Schenke, Gesa; Plisch, Uwe-Karsten (eds.). Der Same Seths: Hans-Martin Schenkes Kleine Schriften zu Gnosis, Koptologie und Neuem Testament. Brill. doi:10.1163/9789004226241_077. ISBN 978-90-04-22624-1.

I decided to remove them from the article, as newer sources are available. Daask (talk) 17:15, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion with Doctrine of Addai[edit]

The best scholars in this area appear to be Sebastian Brock, Andrea Nicolotti, Alexander Mirkovic, and Andrew Palmer, who all suggest the seventh or eighth century, and only describe a Greek version. Yet McHugh's article describes the Acts as both Greek and Syriac, and dates it to the third century. Is McHugh confusing Acts of Thaddaeus with the Doctrine of Addai, or intentionally conflating them? Is there more debate or options regarding transmission history that I am missing? I see a number of other sources which express similar understandings, but this is the only one I consider credible. Daask (talk) 18:25, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
