2 Extracts of one codex of these documents have been studied by Professors H. C. Puech, G. Quispel and W. C. van Unnik and the results of their work presented to English readers by Professor F. L. Cross in The Jung Codex, Mowbrays, 1954. H. C. Puech’s ‘Les nouveaux Ecrits gnostiques découverts en Haute- Egypte’, in Coptic Studies Presented in Honour of Walter Ewing Crum, Boston, 1950, 91-154, is still the most useful work on the collection as a whole.

7 The most useful estimates of the results of the excavations are: J. M. C. Toynbee, ‘The Shrine of St Peter in its Historical Setting’, Journal of Roman Studies, XLIII, 1953, 1-26; J. Carcopino, Etudes d’Histoire chrétienne, 1953, 99 f.; O. Cullmann, Petrus, 1952, 73-169 (E.T. 1953, pp. 132 ff.); and J. M. C. Toynbee and J. Ward-Perkins, The Shrine of St Peter and the Vatican Excavations, Longmans, 1956.

8 No stratigraphical sections were published in the official Report. Cf. the author in Journal of Theological Studies, N.S. VIII, 1957, 159-62.

9 This lack is in marked contrast to the great number of third century invocations to SS Peter and Paul which adorn the walls of the Memoria of the Apostles beneath the present church of San Sebastiano. See H. Chadwick, ‘St Peter and Paul in Rome’, Journal of Theological Studies, N.S. VIII, 1957, 31 ff.

10 The opinion of Toynbee and Ward-Perkins, op. cit. 159, is worth quoting. ‘That the Christian community of the mid-second century did in fact believe St Peter to be buried in approximately this spot, and that the builders of the Red Wall in trenching for their foundations, did hit upon one end of a deeply buried grave, which was promptly identified as that of St Peter, is a hypothesis that would explain a great deal that is otherwise puzzling in the archaeological record.’ The work by E. Kirschbaum, S. J. The Tombs of St Peter and St Paul (E.T. London, 1959) does not advance the argument.
