<P> The Gospel of the Holy Twelve is a disputed publication purportedly from the early Christian era which was first serialised in The Lindsey and Lincolnshire Star newspaper between July 30, 1898 and March 10, 1901 . </P> <P> The first collected edition of essays (or' Lections') by the author, a former clergyman, Rev. Gideon Jasper Richard Ouseley (1834--1906) was published in 1901 . By the time of Ouseley's death the title was out of print but the executor of his manuscript, Samuel Hopgood Hart (1865--1958) re-issued the text in 1924 . There have been numerous editions published since the 1950s and the title remains in print and on the Internet . </P> <P> The Gospel of the Holy Twelve presents vegetarian versions of traditional teachings and events described in the canonical New Testament . The first collected volume was issued by The Order of At - One - Ment and United Templars Society--a publishing imprint which the author had established in 1881 . The explanatory preface referred to an ancient source manuscript "preserved in the Monasteries of Thibet" which has never been produced or proven to exist . In subsequent editions, released during the early 1900s, the anonymous Editors revised their claim by stating that the text was "communicated" by departed mystics "in dreams and visions of the night". </P>
