Note 480 — Chapter V · PRE-CHRISTIAN GNOSTICS: THE ESSENES
Reading edition
Jülicher in Encyc. Bibl. ubi cit. and Ritschl and Lucius there quoted; J. B. Lightfoot, Epistles to Colossians and to Philemon, 1876, pp. 82-93, 348-419, and Hilgenfeld, Die Ketzergeschichte des Urchristenthums, Leipzig, 1884, p. 156; Arthur Lillie, Buddhism in Christendom, 1887, passim; id. Buddha and Buddhism, Edinburgh, 1900, pp. 159 sqq. Buddhism is however posterior in time to Orphism, as Buddha did not die till B.C. 483 (see Fleet in J.R.A.S. 1909, p. 22), which was some years after the break-up of the Pythagorean school.
