There are two significant, if eccentric, published studies of Robert D'Onston 
Stephenson, both purporting (unconvincingly) to demonstrate that he was "Jack 
the Ripper" but including much interesting material on his occult associations 
(including Mabel Collins). They are:

Melvin Harris "The True Face of Jack the Ripper" (London, Michael O'Mara 
Books, 1994)- this is the more scholarly of the two, and includes a 
bibliography of D'Onston' writings, including "The Patristic Gospels", written 
at the end of his life and published in London in 1904.

Ivor Edwards "Jack the Ripper's Black Magic Rituals" (London, John Blake, 
2002)- which is entertaining but lacking in substance.
