George Robert Stow Mead (1863-1933) is a key figure in the revival
and interpretation of Gnosticism and indeed the entire western
esoteric tradition. He joined the Theosophical Society after
graduating from Cambridge in 1884, and five years later became the
private secretary of the Society's founder, H. P. Blavatsky,
editing most of her published works and her magazine 'Lucifer'. He
also followed his own lines of research, resulting in books such as
'Plotinus', 'Pistis Sophia' and the present work, each of them
scholarly, comprehensive in scope, and eminently readable. Mead
shows 'The Chaldean Oracles' to be the remains of a mystery-poem
forming part of the inner initiation of a School or Order, and with
painstaking scholarship he interprets the fragments into a cohesive
pattern.
