Autoren-Porträt von G. R. S. Mead
G. R. S. Mead, born in 1863, was a distinguished English historian, writer, editor, translator, and an influential thinker in the field of theosophy and gnosticism. His scholarly endeavor is most seen in his comprehensive work 'Simon Magus,' an exploration of the titular figure from Christian lore and a seminal text delving into early Christian heresy, Gnosticism, and the figure's impact on occult traditions. A graduate of St. John's College, Cambridge, Mead rigorously examined the esoteric and mystic traditions of antiquity and provided the English-speaking world profound insights through his translations of Gnostic and Hermetic texts. Notably, he served as the editor of 'The Theosophical Society' magazine and was close to the society's co-founder Helena Blavatsky. His literary style is characterized by meticulous research, clear exposition, and a profound understanding of the philosophical currents of his subjects. In addition to 'Simon Magus', his other notable works include 'Fragments of a Faith Forgotten', 'The Gnostic John the Baptizer', and 'Thrice Greatest Hermes.' His contribution as an esoteric scholar remains invaluable, providing a foundation for the study of Gnosticism and Hermeticism in modern times.
