• 1996, David Williams, Deformed discourse : the function of the monster in mediaeval thought and literature, 1st paperback edition, Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, published 1999, →ISBN, page 302:

  He is identified with intellectual understanding, and as if to offset the Dionysian associations, he is called Theosophus – he whom God knows.

• 1914 January, W. H. V. Reade, “[Reviewed work:] Die philosophischen Werke des Robert Grosseteste, Bischofs von Lincoln, [by] Ludwig Baur […] ”, in The English Historical Review, volume 29, number 113, London: Longmans, Green, →ISSN, →JSTOR, pages 152–153:

  […] the method of grouping them is worthy of attention, especially on account of the use made of the uncommon terms theosophia and theosophi. By theosophia is meant pretty much what we should call inspired knowledge, and the theosophi are defined as 'sacrae scripturae id est divinitus promulgatae auctores'. Moses and the prophets fall within this category, yet before the incarnation 'latuit sapientiae caelestis auctoritas et arcanum'. The theosophi are on a far higher plane than the philosophi, while between these two classes come the theologi, whose business is to be 'theosophiae declaratores et expositores'. [...] In this last class are 'multi moderniores scriptores quos vocant summarum confectores'. As to the authority belonging to the three classes, the theosophi could not err 'in hora inspirationis suae', but 'nonnulla quandoque ut homines non inspirati protulerunt'. The theologus in his turn may err in matters pertaining to natural philosophy, and to suppose that the opinions of a mere philosophus must all be adopted is omnino sacrilegum.

  Est, inquit, Theosophorum, caelestes virtutes, hoc est caeleslium virtulum imagines invenire per singula membra, ut judico, quibus multiplex partibilis nostri corporis harmonia constituia est. Dicentes, conspectivas quidem significare virtutes ipsum ad divina luminaria clarissimum respectum, hoc est, dum dicunt Theosophi, clarissimum oculorum nostrorum contuitum in divina luminaria, a Deo videlicet in caelo condita, significare contemplativas caelestium essentiarum virtutes.
