# Philosophumena; or, The refutation of all heresies, Volume I

By Antipope Hippolytus.

"Philosophumena; or, The refutation of all heresies, Volume I" by Antipope Hippolytus is a Christian polemical work written in the early third century. This compendious text catalogs pagan beliefs and thirty-three gnostic Christian systems the author deemed heretical, making it a major source on early Christian opponents. The work surveys Greek philosophy, magical practices, and various heresies including those of Simon Magus, Valentinus, and Basilides, linking their teachings to ancient philosophical traditions and challenging their departures from Christian orthodoxy.
