(116) The Nag Hammadi Library
V
On December 15th 1995, Fiona went into Finbarr’s Health shop in Hastings. The man in front of her had placed a book on the counter. It turned out to be The Nag Hammadi Library by James M. Robinson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nag_Hammadi_library
These were some gospels discovered in 1945, but not fully rendered into English until 1977.
Here him talking about it at 53:00 here The Real Story Behind The Da Vinci Code | The Da Vinci Code Decoded (2006) | Full Film (youtube.com)
Earlier that year she had been trying to obtain a copy whilst writing her novel about the Second Coming: Baker´s Dozen. Living the Dream: A Coincidence Diary: (108) Novels about The Second Coming (james-plasketts-coincidence-diary.blogspot.com)
She had only become aware of it because it was mentioned in another book that she had bought earlier that year: Millennium Prophecies by Stephen Skinner.
She had known neither the precise title of the work nor even the author’s name, and had not inquired for it in Hastings because she had presumed that a local library would not have so rare a volume. Indeed a month or so before that she had rung up a book finding service telling them that all she knew was that it was probably published in the last ten years and would have the term Nag Hammadi in the title.
Further to that she faxed the same people with a similar inquiry suggesting that they implement a computer search around that term, but to both promptings she had received no reply.

But the chap in the health food shop said that he was just returning it to the Hastings Library, and from there Fiona would subsequently take it out.
