The Gnostics and Their Remains
Description
The Gnostics and Their Remains is a book by C. W. King, first published in 1864. This pioneering work explores the origins, beliefs, symbols, and rituals of the Gnostic sects that emerged during the early centuries of Christianity. Drawing on a wide range of historical and archaeological sources, the book offers insights into the syncretic nature of Gnosticism, its links to Eastern mysticism, and its influence on early Christian heresies.
King also provides detailed examinations of Gnostic amulets, gems, and other relics, making the work a valuable resource for understanding the spiritual and material culture of the Gnostics. At a time when interest in esoteric and occult traditions was growing in Victorian Britain, this book helped shape modern scholarship on heterodox religious movements and ancient symbolism.
