But make sure you get the 15th edition if so (1996, 1997):  it has an entirely 
new appendix featuring the full Coptic text of the Gospel of Thomas, with the 
P.Oxy fragments, new translations into German and English and retranslations of 
the materials with parallels to the Synoptics into Greek.  It was prepared by 
Hans-Gebhard Bethge and is a most valuable resource.  The only annoying thing 
is that the print is too small.  Why, I wonder, do they think that people 
interested in the Gospel of Thomas have better eyesight than those interested 
only in the synoptics?
