Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Echoes From the Gnosis, Vol. 7: The Gnostic Crucifixion The strongest proof that we have in our fragment very early material is found in the text itself, when it relates the following simple form of the miracle of the loaves. Now if at any time He were invited by one of the Pharisees and went to the bidding, we used to go with Him. And before each was set a single loaf by the host; and of them He. Himself also received one. Then He would give thanks and divide His loaf among us and from this little each had enough, and our own loaves were saved whole, so that those who bade Him were amazed.

This 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
