Re: Quote in the Key

Hi,
thanks to all!

In a site i've found 'Neoplatonism and Alchemy' from Wilder:

Writers have generally fixed the time of the development of the Eclectic theosophical system during the third century of the Christian era. It appears to have had a beginning much earlier, and, indeed, is traced by Diogenes Laertius to an Egyptian prophet or priest named Pot-Amun, (1) who flourished in the earlier years of the dynasty of the Ptolemies. 

and in the footnote:

1 - This name is Coptic, and signifies one consecrated to Amun, the god or genius of wisdom.

So that's almost the same thing HPB saids in the Key. I know now she got it from here, the thing is from where the hell got it Wilder!
