SOME PRESS OPINIONS.
" The ' Pistis Sophia ' has long been recognised as one of the most important Gnostic documents we possess, and Mr. Mead deserves the gratitude of students of Church History and of the History of Christian Thought, for his admirable translation and edition of this curious Gospel." — Glasgow Herald.
" Mr. Mead has done a service to other than Theosophists by his translation of the,
' Pistis Sophia.' This curious work has not till lately received the attention which it deserves.
.... He has prefixed a short Introduction, which includes an excellent bibliography.
Thus, the English reader is now in a position to judge for himself of the scientific value of the only Gnostic treatise of any considerable length which has come down to us." — Guardian.
" From a scholar's point of view the work is of value as illustrating the philosophicomystical tendencies of the second century." — Record.
" Mr. Mead deserves thanks for putting in an English dress this curious document from the early ages of Christian philosophy." — Manchester Guardian.
