It meditates on the sacraments—baptism, anointing, eucharist and the mysterious "bridal chamber"—, on the lost unity of masculine and feminine and on liberating knowledge. One fragmentary passage calls Mary Magdalene the Saviour's "companion" and says that he loved her more than the other disciples; the lacuna in the manuscript has fed sensationalist readings without textual basis.
