Relating to or characteristic of Audaeus, an ancient Gnostic teacher, or his followers and teachings.
From Audaeus, a 2nd-century Gnostic religious figure, plus the suffix -an meaning 'of or relating to.' The term emerged in ecclesiastical historical texts to describe this obscure but documented Gnostic sect.
Audaeanism is one of history's lost religions—so obscure that we know about it mainly through critics who tried to refute it, making ancient heresies one of history's most fascinating detective stories.
