DOWNLOAD EBOOKGeorge Robert Stowe Mead (1863-1933) was a major translator, editor, and commentator on Gnostic and hermetic literature and thus a pivotal figure linking the late 19th-century esoteric revival to 20th-century art, literature, and psychology. As a young convert to the new movement of theosophy, he served as private secretary to its co-founder, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, and after founding the European section of the Theosophical Society edited its London journal, Lucifer, for many years. Mead's initial interest in theosophy and Hinduism soon blossomed into a lifelong and wide-ranging engagement with the texts of Gnosticism, neo-Platonism, and hermeticism. His editions and commentaries on previously inaccessible sources became standard works before the First World War and an important source of inspiration to such figures as Jung, Ezra Pound, Yeats, and Robert Duncan. A new entry in the Western Masters Series of concise biographies noting key figures in the Western esoteric tradition, G.R.S. Mead and the Gnostic Quest introduces Mead's life, works, and influences, combining a substantial biography with a collection of his most important writings.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Hymn which forms the subject of this little volume has no traditional title. Like The Hymn of the Robe of Glory, which formed the last of these Echoes, it is found in the Syriac Acts of Judas Thomas, where it is put in the mouth of the Apostle who is said, on his travels, to have been guest of honour at a bridal feast. In addition to the Syriac we have a Greek text which is plainly a translation. The Greek is in prose, but the Syriac for the most part in verses of twelve syllables, in couplets, "just like The Hymn of the Robe 'of Glory. As Macke tells us (p. 17), where the Greek and Syriac agree the verses are of six syllables; or more correctly, as Burkitt has pointed out (p. 277), normally 6 + 6, but sometimes 5+7- Moreover, the Greek can be translated back into metred Syriac where the present Syriac departs from the metre. An Armenian version also existed, of which, unfortunately, we now possess only the opening and closing lines. All scholars agree that the original Hymn was composed in Syriac; but is our Syriac text as it stands the original? It plainly is not; it has been " overworked," as the Germans call it, by an editor, and that too, to serve certain theological interests, while the scraps of the Armenian version show that it in its turn had been still further over-worked.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBetween 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume features, for the first time in ONE SINGLE BOOK, the complete collection OF 11 VOLUMES entitled ECHOES FROM THE GNOSIS, by George Robert Stowe Mead, English historian, writer, editor, translator, and influential member of the Theosophical Society (personal secretary of Madame Blavatsky), whose scholarly works dealt mainly with the Hermetic and Gnostic religions of Late Antiquity. ECHOES FROM THE GNOSIS, as his author describes it, is "a series of small volumes, drawn from, or based upon, the mystic, theosophic and gnostic writings of the ancients, so as to make more easily audible for the ever-widening circle of those who love such things, some echoes of the mystic experiences and initiatory lore of their spiritual ancestry. There are many who love the life of the spirit, and who long for the light of gnostic illumination, but who are not sufficiently equipped to study the writings of the ancients at first hand, or to follow unaided the labours of scholars. These little volumes are therefore intended to serve as introduction to the study of the more difficult literature of the subject; and it is hoped that at the same time they may become for some, who have, as yet, not even heard of the Gnosis, stepping-stones to higher things. The eleven volumes are: THE GNOSIS OF THE MIND THE HYMNS OF HERMES THE VISION OF ARIDÆUS THE HYMN OF JESUS THE MYSTERIES OF MITHRA A MITHRAIC RITUAL THE GNOSTIC CRUCIFIXION. THE CHALDÆAN ORACLES VOL. 1 THE CHALDÆAN ORACLES VOL. 2 THE HYMN OF THE ROBE OF GLORY THE WEDDING SONG OF WISDOM
