Leucius Charinus

Leucius Charinus was, according to tradition, a disciple of St. John the Divine and the author of the Leucian Acts, a series of apocryphal Gnostic texts dating to the mid second-century.

The Leucian Acts are as follows:

The Acts of John
The Acts of Peter
The Acts of Paul
The Acts of Andrew
The Acts of Thomas

The Leucian Acts were most likely redacted at a later date to express a more orthodox view. Of the five, the Acts of John and Thomas have the most remaining Gnostic content.
