I slovenly referred to the gnostic gospels as apocrypha. I should have,
instead, asked readers to take a look at the Nag Hammadi Codices, for example.

Maybe there is more than one Q[uelle].
Maybe I've missed something, but why has there, as far as I know, been
no mention of the Gnostic Gospels in this thread?
Maybe the present-day Christian Gospels are the corruption of some
G[nostic] text[s].
Which raises the question of whether Q = G.
