The Psalms of Thomas (more correctly Psalms of Thom) are a set of third-century psalms[1] found appended to the end of a Coptic Manichaean psalm book, which was in turn part of the Medinet Madi library excavated in 1929. The psalms were originally published in 1938 by Charles Allberry.[2]
The meter and structure of the psalms suggest that they were originally written in Eastern Aramaic. There are 20 psalms in total.[3] The themes and content of the psalms bear a considerable resemblance to the Hymn of the Pearl from the Acts of Thomas.
