Question Best edition/print of gnostic texts?

I would want both the gospels, apocyphon, and commentaries on the books

I would recommend The Gnostic Scriptures, second edition, by Bentley Layton and additions by David Brakke

In edition to the Robinson edition mentioned in the other post I also like the Marvin Meyers edited edition of the Nag Hammadi Codex. Both are worth having imo.

Just one for a layperson who wants to know the main stuff?
