Echoes From the Gnosis

Echoes From the Gnosis brings together under one book, pertinent translations and interpretation of Gnostic writings from the 1st and 2nd centuries, A.D. Between 1906 and 1908, G. R. S. Mead published eleven small books under the series title "Echoes from the Gnosis." These books contain translations and interpretations of the Gnostic writings of the ancients. Long before the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library, Mead translated these esoteric texts of various origins (Christian, Roman, Greek). He wanted to make this material accessible to the growing number of people at the time eager to encounter this ancient mystical religion based on an intuitive process of knowing oneself and the hidden aspects of life and existence. Upon the publication of the 100-year anniversary edition of the series, the appeal for this same material remains stronger than ever.

G. R. S. Mead
(1863 - 1933)

George Robert Stow Mead (22 March 1863 – 28 September 1933) was an English historian, writer, editor, translator of ancient texts. He was an influential member of the Theosophical Society, as well as the founder of the Quest Society. His works dealt with various religious and philosophical texts and traditions, including Neoplatonism, Hermeticism and Gnosticism. While still at Cambridge University Mead read Esoteric Buddhism (1883) by Alfred Percy Sinnett, which prompted his initial interest in Theosophy and led him to join Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's Theosophical Society in 1884. After becoming Blavatsky's private secretary in 1889, Mead was elected as the general secretary (jointly with Bertram Keightley) of the Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society.
