Simon Magus: An Essay on the Founder of Simonianism is a book written by G. R. S. Mead that provides a comprehensive analysis of the life, philosophy, and teachings of Simon Magus, the founder of Simonianism. The book is based on ancient sources and offers a re-evaluation of Simon's teachings and their impact on early Christianity. The author explores the historical context in which Simon lived and examines his role in the development of Gnosticism. Mead also delves into Simon's theology and his ideas about the nature of God, the universe, and the human soul. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of religion and philosophy.Scholars in Christendom have heard of Simon, the magician and how at Rome this sorcerer endeavored to fly by the aid of occult powers. Simon was an alias for Paul. Of all John's disciples, Simon was the favorite and after the death of his master, became the head of his school. Like other Gnostic teachers, his teachings begin with the Word, the Logos, which springs up from the Depths of the Unknown. Contents: Sources of Information; A Review of Authorities; The Theosophy of Simon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
