		Hardcover. 8vo. xxiv + 472 pp. Green cloth with silver titling to spine and silver titling and illustration upper board, frontis, b&w illustrations, index. This is a reprint of the Second Edition with additional notes to the bibliography.  Charles William King (1818 - 1888), was a Cambridge classical scholar and collector and authority on engraved gems.  In the mid-19th century, King gathered together all the then-available information on Gnosticism and the movements that he felt drew from it and published it in this work.  The books stretches from early Gnosticism, through the magicians and Kabbalists of mediaeval Europe, the Templars, Rosicrucians, Illuminati and Freemasons.  In the course of the work he also explores the Greek and Roman use of amulets, magical spells and talismans, and branches out into such bypaths as  Masons' marks, and the story of Simon Magus.  It is a testament to the quality of his research that despite the passage of time, and the limited sources on which he relied, the work is still perceived as having considerable authority. Page edges slightly darkened. Otherwise, an unused book, a tight and bright Near fine copy. No dust jacket - as issued
