Sermones ad Novivios Vita Lidewigis Virginis

Sermones ad Novivios Vita Lidewigis Virginis - Thomae Hemerken

even Sermons to the Dead (Latin: Septem Sermones ad Mortuos) is a collection of seven mystical or "Gnostic" texts privately published by C. G. Jung in 1916, under the title Seven Sermons to the Dead, written by Basilides of Alexandria, the city where East and West meet. Jung did not identify himself as the author of the publication, but credited it to the early Christian Gnostic religious teacher, Basilides.

Seven Sermons might now best be described as the "summary revelation of the Red Book".[1] This is the only portion of the imaginative material contained in the Red Book manuscripts that Jung shared more or less publicly during his lifetime.[2] To comprehend the importance of the Seven Sermons, one must understand the events behind the writing of the Red Book, a task ultimately facilitated by the publication of Jung's Red Book in October 2009 (C. G. Jung, The Red Book: Liber Novus, ed. Sonu Shamdasani, Norton, 2009). Shamdasani's introduction and notes on the text of the Red Book provide previously unavailable primary documentation on this important period of Jung's life.
