Another Seed: Studies in Gnostic Mythology
Gedaliahu A. Guy Stroumsa, Guy G. StroumsaThis important work which was not reviewed at the time of publication in this Journal offers a refreshing look at a number of themes of gnostic and Manichaean cosmogony. The author, now the Martin Buber Professor of Comparative Religion at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is uniquely qualified to undertake a major study of the gnostic and Manichaean myths both as a gnostic scholar and as an orientalist, especially as a Semiticist. He commands a formidable array of ancient languages and is therefore able to tackle Greek, Coplic, Syriac, Aramaic and Arabic sources at first hand. The result is a learned and fascinating work which will be undoubtedly please specialists in a number of different camps.
