Krishtar,
Thanks for your reply and comment. Yes, Meade's work is very fine with 
extensive subnotes and topical border indexing on the side page border. 
He
was of the view that the Pistis Sophia (Faith Wisdom) was only one part 
of an
original Tetrad. If my memory serves me correctly he pointed to the works 
of
Emile Amelineau whose works were published only in French and to my
knowledge have never been englished or published here in America. I once
talked with the Antiquarian for Samuel Weisner Publishing in Maine on the 
phone
whilst searching for these works in translation, he remarked that he had 
never
seen or even heard of Amelineau's works and had never had a copy of any 
of
them in their possession. One of the works was a Text called "The Book of 
the
Angels."

Meade was well ahead of his time on the Gnostics, writting precursor 
works
which later after the discovery of the Nag Hammadhi Texts in the mid 
1900's
showed him to be a Scholar and a shining Light equiped with a special 
sensitivy
and talent most complementary for the purpose laying a new Echoe of the 
Gnosis
for present generations that now have the Nag Hammadhi and Gnostic 
Librarys
online.
