Baur and Zeller, Tübingen.
Footnote 12:
Buckle, who was a most omnivorous reader, found Schwartze’s Latin
version and summarised it in the Commonplace Book, published after his
death.
Footnote 13:
I had the pleasure in 1912 of again uncovering a great part of these
tombs under the leadership of my old friend Prof. Edouard Naville. I
was astonished both at their extent and the very imperfect account of
their first discovery given by M. Amélineau in the volumes published
by him long after the excavation, from what were evidently imperfectly
taken notes. Lack of funds prevented the Egypt Exploration Fund, for
which Prof. Naville and I were working, from continuing our
exploration, but I saw enough to convince me that there is still much
to be gathered from a fresh exploration of the site.
Footnote 14:
Dr. Preuschen’s criticism was made in the _Theologische
Litteratur-Zeitung_ (of Jena) Bd. XIX. (1894), pp. 183-187, and
answered by Dr. Schmidt in the _Zeitschrift für Wissenschaftliche
Theologie_ of the same year, Bd. XXXVII., pp. 555 ff. Pastor
Lichtenhau’s attack was given in the last-named periodical for 1901,
Bd. XVIII., pp. 236 ff.
Footnote 15:
Among the earlier writers, I should mention Joh. Nap. Grüber, who, in
an inaugural Thesis read before the Faculty of the University of
Würzburg in 1864, on the Ophite heresy, dealt at great length with the
_Pistis Sophia_. I have worked through this, however, without deriving
from it any new ideas which could be substantiated by later
information. Among more recent writers, I may also mention the late
Mr. P. D. Scott-Moncrieff’s _Paganism and Christianity in Egypt_
(1913), which contains many useful hints and might, but for the
writer’s premature death, have been expanded into a useful text-book.
Footnote 16:
_E.g._ M. Maspero’s review in the _Revue Critique_ (n. 3, LXVIII., 2nd
plie) for 1909, pp. 192, 193 of Lieblein’s article on the _Pistis
Sophia_ in the _Kristiania Videnskobs-Selskabs Forhandlingen_ of the
same year.
Footnote 17:
The word _topos_ used here and elsewhere in the text seems to be a
Greek translation of the Egyptian _Ker-t_, which as M. Naville,
_Litanie du Soleil_, pp. 15, 16, points out, is the place which serves
as a residence for a spirit or a body such as the Sun. He thinks with
Champollion that it was also what the Alexandrians sometimes described
as a zone or sphere.
