These three “rhapsodies” are to be found on pp. 206-216, 219-224, and 229-231. Scott-Moncrieff in his _Paganism and Christianity in Egypt_, pp. 77-80, points out that the early organisation of the Church in Egypt included “prophets” who were accustomed to utter things in ecstasy; and it is quite possible that these rhapsodies may be a specimen of their utterances. Besides being familiar with the _Book of the Dead_, they may have had an hereditary connection with the prophets of Amen. Footnote 28: That He was supposed to have visited the highest realms is shown by the fact that He wore all three robes on his return. Footnote 29: To correspond doubtless to the one “Space” of the Ineffable and the three Spaces of the First Mystery; making four in all. Footnote 30: See pp. 279-281, Copt. Footnote 31: See pp. 281-285; 336-341, Copt. Footnote 32: These transmigrations are limited in number (see p. 327, Copt); but the number is not stated. It would be interesting to know if they were five, like those of the Manichæans. Footnote 33: See p. 355, Copt. Footnote 34: Thus Irenæus (II., 33, 3, p. 331 H.) says He suffered on completing His thirtieth year; yet that He taught until He was forty or fifty years old. Footnote 35: This is repeated in the _Bruce Papyrus_ in the same connection. Footnote 36: See p. 361, Copt. Footnote 37: See pp. 364-371, Copt. Footnote 38: See pp. 372-376, Copt. Footnote 39: See pp. 379-387, Copt. Footnote 40: See pp. 387-389, Copt. Footnote 41: See pp. 389-390, Copt. Footnote 42: That Valentinus, unlike Marcian, only wished to found a school within the Church and not to set up a rival one in opposition to it, is shown in _Forerunners_, p. 125. Footnote 43: Our MS. is not only without any heading of the kind, but lacks any of the coloured or illuminated initial letters used in the religious texts of its period. A good specimen of their practices is seen in Budge’s _Coptic Apocrypha_, _passim_. In the _Pistis Sophia_ all this is absent, the paragraphs being marked with a single sign, while the gaps are filled by the simplest possible ornament corresponding to our dots. Footnote 44: The belief that knowledge of the name of a person or thing gave its possessor power over it appears in nearly every chapter of the _Book of the Dead_ as well as in the story of the Places of Râ. Hence it is probable that many of the names given in our text are only pseudonyms borrowed, perhaps, from other sects. Thus the names of Iao and Maskelli are expressly said to be those by which they are called by “the demons” and to correspond to those of certain wicked “Rulers.” Footnote 45: Cf. P. S. B. A., 1903, p. 304. Footnote 46: Pierrot, _Livre des Morts_, 1882, p. 555. Footnote 47:
