Pistis Sophia by G.R.S. Mead
Publication: 1955 John M. Watkins Publishing
Third impression of the heavily revised and best edition of Mead’s translation of this significant third-century Gnostic text. George Robert Stowe Mead (1863–1933) was an English historian and writer, a leading figure in the Theosophical Society and founder of the Quest Society. Best known for his monumental Thrice Greatest Hermes, Mead’s work on Pistis Sophia remains a cornerstone in the study of Hermetic and Gnostic literature.
