Talk:Zosimos of Panopolis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Critical remark

This article appears to be based on Jung's very imperfect understanding of Zosimus: imperfect both becuase of the bais of Jung's interpretation and because of its ignorance of the extant corups of Zosimus' works. In fact there survives in the original Greek a complete treatise by Zosimus, On the Letter Omega, which is not mentioned in the article. To describe Zosimus as a 'Gnsoic mystic' after the precision of understanding of what Gnosticism is and is not in the light of the last half century of scholarship is laughable. The whole article needs to be rewritten. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.0.49.132 (talk • contribs)

Dear sir or madam, we know that wikipedia is imperfect in many places. Thank you fo criticism, but it would be much more useful if you actually edited the artcle referring to more recent scholar sources (providein quots and reference, per wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia:Attribution) (it is quite understandable that historians know more since Jung's times).
