Doctrine
of the First Gnostics - by Tau Basilides - Patrice
Genty
Translation in progress. A rare text of the
last Patriarch of the Eglise Gnostique de France. This branch
of the church was of the pure Doinel succession and maintained
its independence. Some indicate Tau Basilides put it to rest
in favor of Bricaud's Church in 1926, however, this work,
dating from 1931, clearly indicates that Tau Basilides retained
his Patriarchal status, but that the Eglise Gnostique was
strictly closed to outsiders.
