The Codex Brucianus is a translation of an ancient Gnostic work from the sixth century and was brought to England from Upper Egypt and donated to the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Gnosis is the power of receiving and understanding direct revelation of God and the transformation of the whole man into a spiritual being by contact with Him. This book is a very beautiful Gnostic work and should be read by anyone interested in experiencing the divine Gnosis of God.

About the Author
F. Lamplugh translated this text from Amelineau’s French version, which appeared in 1892. He was praised for presenting an English version that reflected the spiritual aspects of Gnosticism. Both he and Charlotte Baynes (who produced the definitive English version in 1933) acknowledged their debt to G.R.S. Mead.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the few surviving original texts of the Gnostic sect of Christianity,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gnosis of the Light: A Translation of the Untitled Apocalypse Contained in the Codex Brucianus (Ibis Western Mystery Tradition) (Paperback)
The Gnosis of the Light is one of the few surviving original texts of the Gnostic sect of Christianity, once persecuted to virtual extinction for heresy. Presenting Gnostic theologians' speculations concerning the nature of heaven, the meaning of life, and God, The Gnosis of Light treats complex precepts as living spiritual texts, scrutinized through Fletcher Lamplugh's interpretation and exposition, rather than as the tenets of a dead belief system. The Gnostic emphasis upon seeking the truth is preserved in this brief yet informative, enlightening, and deeply spiritual compendium.
