Naassenes
The Naassenes (Greek ''Naasseni,'' possibly from Hebrew נָחָשׁ ''naḥash'', snake)〔Hippolytus ''Philosophumena'' 5, 6 or para 139. Hippolytus says 'for the serpent is called naas', which the translator says is 'naḥash'.〕 were a Christian Gnostic sect from around 100 AD known only through the writings of Hippolytus of Rome.
The Naassenes claimed to have been taught their doctrines by Mariamne, a disciple of James the Just.〔Hippolytus ''Philosophumena'' 5, 2〕 The retention of the Hebrew form shows that their beliefs may represent the earliest stages of Gnosticism. Hippolytus regards them as among the first to be called simply "Gnostics", alleging that they alone have sounded the depths of knowledge.〔Hippolytus ''Philosophumena'' 5, 1〕
==Naassene Sermon==
The Naassenes had one or more books out of which Hippolytus of Rome largely quotes in the ''Philosophumena'', which professed to contain heads of discourses communicated by James, the brother of Jesus, to Mariamne. They contained treatises of a mystical, philosophic, devotional, and exegetical character, rather than a cosmological exposition. A very interesting feature of the book seems to have been the specimens it gave of Ophite hymnology.
The writer (or writers) is possibly Greek. He does indeed use the Hebrew words ''Naas'' and ''Caulacau'', but these words had already passed into the common Gnostic vocabulary so as to become known to many unacquainted with Hebrew. He shows a great knowledge of the religious mysteries of various nations. For instance, he dilates much on the Phrygian rites, and the whole section seems to be a commentary on a hymn to the Phrygian Attis.
