In Ancient Literature, add additional section - Nag Hammadi and Islamica

Ancient literature has a section for Judaica but not a similar section for "Islamica" … I would like to see it also include other minor Abrahamic religions but just adding Islam is probably an easier sell. And if we have a Dead Sea Scrolls Sectarian Material section, surely we can get an equivalent Nag Hammadi section.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    DSS > Nag Hammadi logically makes sense. But then (I'm mentally still based early 1900s), the Cairo Geniza and earlier. Maybe document groupings like that do make sense. Of course, Logos would need the documents, I suppose!
