The Fall of Sophia by Violet Macdermot
A fresh translation of the Pistis Sophia from the Coptic and a discussion of its historical setting.'The historical overview is selective but carefully balanced and inspiring, a fine introduction to the passage of the subject and its key proponents through historyTo students of gnosticism it provides a honed synopsis of the subject as well as the translation of important source material. To the un-initiated, it is also a fine introduction and could inspire further exploration of the subject.'
-- Oliver Perceval, Light
Violet MacDermot studied Egyptology at University College, London, and was a board member of the Egypt Exploration Society. She has translated other Coptic texts in the Nag Hammadi series.
