From (Ahura) Mazda. (See Spiegel’s ''Yasna'', xl.)

Mead G.R.S. - Did Jesus Live 100 B.C. +

A work by [[Mead, George Robert Stow|G. R. S. Mead]] (London and Benares, 1903), used by [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] in discussing the Talmudic traditions cited by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]. Identifying the characters in these traditions with the Jesus of the Gospels remains an interpretation, not an undisputed biographical fact. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Compilers Notes (4)#224|BCW 8:224]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Notes on Abbe Rocas Esotericism of Christian Dogma#382|BCW 8:382-384]]) +

The account of Basilides occupies pp. 253–283 of the London and Benares edition of 1900. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] notes the 1960 University Books reissue with an introduction by K.

Instruction No.2#579|BCW 12:579-580]]) The 1906 edition is catalogued as the second edition; Zirkoff’s designation of the 1960 reissue as the “second” therefore needs qualification. ([https://openlibrary.org/books/OL7146571M/Fragments_of_a_faith_forgotten Catalogue record of the 1906 edition]) +
