Translation
No public-domain English translation; recommended modern edition: Violet MacDermot, *The Books of Jeu and the Untitled Text in the Bruce Codex* (Nag Hammadi Studies 13, Brill, 1978). Carl Schmidt's 1892 edition is German; no pre-1929 English translation of the Books of Jeu themselves is known. F. Lamplugh's 1918 *The Gnôsis of the Light* (in this corpus as `untitled-text-bruce-codex`) translates only the third tractate of the Bruce Codex, not the two Books of Jeu.
