This monograph examines the Gnostic sources of "The Denunciation of All Heresies," a polemical work by the Bishop of Rome, Hippolytus. It focuses on the so-called "special material" of the work—fragments containing unique information about Gnostic schools and authors of the second and third centuries, not preserved in other sources. The author explores the historiography of the issue, analyzes Hippolytus' methods, and reconstructs a possible literary source hidden within the text's structure.

The work draws on interdisciplinary approaches in source studies, patristics, textual criticism, and the history of religions. It is addressed to specialists in the history of Christianity, classical culture, and Oriental studies, as well as a wide range of humanities scholars interested in the intellectual history of late antiquity. The appendices include a commented translation and comparative tables of the most interesting fragments of the text.
