The serialization of [[Mead, George Robert Stow|G. R. S. Mead]]’s translation remained unfinished. In May 1891 a six-month suspension was announced. {{ctd-source|1=[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Note by the Compiler#150|BCW 12:150]]}}
M. G. Schwartze’s Latin translation was published posthumously by J. H. Petermann in 1851. [[Mead, George Robert Stow|G. R. S. Mead]] substantially revised his English translation in 1921. G. Horner’s 1924 translation was made directly from Coptic, with an introduction by F. Legge. {{ctd-source|1=[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Introductory Notes to H.P.B.s Commentary on the Pistis Sophia#1|BCW 13:1-5]]}}
Note. The date of composition should be distinguished from the surviving manuscript: the [https://searcharchives.bl.uk/catalog/032-002738266 British Library catalogue] dates the Askew Codex to 301–699 and gives 178 folios (356 pages), differing from the manuscript description in BCW.
