Basilides

Extensive work on the interpretation of the Gospels, in 24 volumes. Mentioned by Cassels, Supernatural Religion, Vol. II, Part II, chap. vi (BCW 8:420). B. de Zirkoff lists Hippolytus’s Philosophumena, Clement’s Stromata, Agrippa Castor’s lost work as quoted by Eusebius, and the Acts of the Disputation of Archelaus and Mani among sources on his teachings. He suggests that Hippolytus may have had access to Basilides’s Exegetica. (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 12:579-580)
