Gnostics and their Remains Ancient and Mediaeval is a book written by Charles William King, originally published in 1864. The book explores the history and beliefs of the Gnostics, a group of early Christian heretics who believed in a secret knowledge of God and the universe. King delves into the origins of Gnosticism, its spread throughout the ancient world, and its influence on medieval Christian thought. The book also examines the artifacts and texts left behind by the Gnostics, including the Nag Hammadi library and the Pistis Sophia, and analyzes their significance.
