About this book
The Gnôsis of the Light, by F. Lamplugh, is a translation of the untitled apocalypse contained in the Codex Brucianus, with introduction and notes. The text carries the saying that blessed is he who crucifieth the World and hath not suffered the World to crucify him. The text says the Gnôstic movement began long before the Christian era, and says the burning question is, or will be, how the Church rose out of the great Gnôstic movement and how the dynamic ideas of the Gnôsis became crystallised into Dogmas.
The text names Powers and Glories, among them Phaneia, of which the translation is Manifestation, and a mighty power called Loxokrator. A numbered note says the prayer seems to be for the transmutation of the members of the order, and that the mysteries of the Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, and of the Descent of the Paraclete may be realised after a certain manner.
