The Gnôsis of the Light

by F. Lamplugh

About the author

Published in 1918, The Gnôsis of the Light presents an English translation of the untitled apocalypse in the Codex Brucianus, along with introductory material and notes. The book credits him as Rev. F. Lamplugh, B.A. (Cantab.), showing that he was a clergyman educated at Cambridge.

Reliable biographical details about him are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to describe him mainly through this surviving work. He is remembered today for making an important Gnostic text more accessible to English-language readers, especially those interested in apocrypha, esotericism, and the history of early Christian thought.
