Stephen Emmel Biography

Stephen Emmel is one of the most popular and richest Coptologist who was born on June 27, 1952 in Rochester, New York, United States.

In 1976 Emmel became a charter member of the International Association for Coptic Studies, whose first international congress (Cairo, December 1976) he helped to organize; between 1996 and 2000 he served as the association’s president, and since 2000 he has been its secretary. He was a founding editor of the Journal of Coptic Studies (Leuven: Peeters, 1988–2001 with Gerald M. Browne), and he has helped to edit several scientific monograph series.

In 1978 Emmel resumed his graduate study, now with Bentley Layton at Yale University, where in 1980 he discovered a part of Nag Hammadi Codex III in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, which had acquired the previously unidentified fragment in 1964 among a group of miscellaneous papyri. Emmel’s first major publication was an edition of the Nag Hammadi text “The Dialogue of the Saviour” (1984). At about that same time, he became the first scholar to see the now famous Gnostic scripture titled “The Gospel of Judas,” in what is now called the Codex Tchacos, when it was offered for sale in 1983 in Geneva, Switzerland. However, in the short time allowed, Emmel did not see the title “The Gospel of Judas” in the papyrus manuscript and so was not the first person to identify the text as such. Nevertheless, when the National Geographic Society was considering a project to fund the conservation and publication of the Codex Tchacos in 2004, Emmel was asked to join its “Codex Advisory Panel,” and he also appeared in the society’s much publicized documentary about the Gospel of Judas project.
