2013 Reprint of 1906 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Three
Volumes bound into one. Volume contents are: Vol. 1. Prolegomena.
-- Vol. 2. Sermons. -- Vol. 3. Excerpts and fragments This work
exemplifies all that is best in Mead's dedicated, scholarly, but
eminently readable studies of the spiritual roots of Christian
Gnosticism and, more generally, of personal religion in the
Greco-Roman world. His work encompassed much more than this; Mead
was equally at home with Sanskrit texts, Patristic literature,
Buddhist thought, and the problems of contemporary philosophy and
psychical research. He devoted his intellectual energy to the
complex interplay of Gnosticism, Hellenism, Judaism, and
Christianity. This three volume set presents his insights into the
formation of the Gnostic world-view and establishes him as an
outstanding translator of these Hermetic books, and as the first
modern scholar of Gnostic tradition.
This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the
original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as
marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe
this work is culturally important, we have made it available as
part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting
the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions
that are true to the original work.
