Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies (NHMS; ) is an academic book series on Gnosticism, the Nag Hammadi library, Manichaeism, and related subjects. The series was founded as Nag Hammadi Studies (NHS; ) in 1971 and is published by Brill. The series includes monographs, conference proceedings, festschrifts, collected papers, and bibliographies published in English, German, and French.
History The original Nag Hammadi Studies (NHS), published since 1971, was edited by James M. Robinson, Martin Krause, and Frederik W. Wisse and included volumes 1–31 and 34–35.
In 1993, the series was renamed as Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies due to the addition of books on Manichaeism. As of 2023, the series editors are Jason D. BeDuhn, Dylan M. Burns, and Johannes van Oort. The volumes are 32–33 and 36 onwards. The latest volume number is 106 as of December 2023.
Some of the volumes are currently part of the online Coptic Gnostic Library.
