EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the ancient treatise called Pistis Sophia, believed to have been written in the late 4th or early 5th century A. D. The text is composed in Coptic, specifically the Sa'idic dialect, on vellum. This remarkable artifact sheds light on the doctrines of Valentinus, an influential Gnostic teacher of that era. The image transports us back to the medieval period and offers a glimpse into North African culture during this time. The dark ages are often associated with limited knowledge and cultural stagnation; however, this manuscript challenges that notion by revealing profound insights into esoteric teachings. The intricate script adorning the vellum page speaks volumes about the dedication and skill of its scribe. Each stroke seems to carry centuries' worth of wisdom and mystical secrets waiting to be deciphered. Pistis Sophia holds immense significance for those interested in occult studies as it delves deep into Gnostic philosophy and spirituality. Its pages unravel Valentinus's unique perspective on divine wisdom (Sophia) and explore complex theological concepts. This print serves as a testament to human intellectual curiosity throughout history. It invites us to ponder upon our ancestors' quest for understanding existence beyond conventional dogmas—a timeless pursuit that continues even today.
