Information on Trimorphic Protennoia

John D. Turner writes (The Nag Hammadi Library in English, pp. 511-522): "Trimorphic Protennoia ('The Three-formed [Divine] First Thought') is, in its form, a Barbeloite treatise which has undergone both Sethian and Christian revisions. It is roughly contemporaneous with The Apocryphon of John (mid-second century C.E.), which it resembles in certain interesting ways, and is distinguished by a number of striking parallels to the Fourth Gospel and especially its prologue."
