Maggiori informazioni sul libro

During his illustrious career, Quispel was also visiting Professor at Harvard University in 1964/5, & visiting Professor at the Catholic University of Leuven from 1969 until 1974. The 50 essays collected in this volume testify to most of the prominent themes from Professor Quispel's scholarly career: the writings of the Nag Hammadi library in general & the Gospel of Thomas in particular; Tatian's Diatessaron & its influences; the Hermetica; Mani & Manichaeism; the Jewish origins of Gnosticism; & Gnosis & the future of Christianity. This volume also makes a number of his less known earlier publications (mainly presented under the heading 'Catholica') available to the international community. Until shortly before he died, Quispel remained active in his study of the Gospel of Thomas. He had been one of the 1st to acquire the Coptic text of the Gospel of Thomas, of which he published the 1st translation in 1959 & his final translation in 2005. He was also active in researching the Diatessaron, & Valentinus the Gnostic. One of his most recent essays--published here for the 1st time--is on 'the Muslim Jesus.'
