The Hymn of Jesus by George Robert Stowe Mead

Description

The Hymn of Jesus is a book by George Robert Stowe Mead, first published in 1907. It presents Mead’s translation and commentary on an ancient Christian-Gnostic liturgical poem — a short, poetic “hymn” that depicts a mystical dance or ritual of Christ and his companions. Mead frames the text for readers interested in early Christian mysticism, Gnostic liturgy, and the symbolic language of esoteric Christianity, making the work useful both as a primary-text translation and as an interpretive guide to inner, spiritual meanings. Mead’s edition sits within his larger Echoes from the Gnosis series and is concise and focused: the translation is accompanied by scholarly notes that highlight parallels with other Gnostic and Hermetic traditions and suggest a ritual, cosmological reading of the hymn. The book appeals to readers searching for texts on Gnostic liturgy, early Christian mysticism, occult Christianity, and translations of rare patristic-poetic materials, offering a bridge between antique devotional forms and modern esoteric study.
