Gnosticism
I don't find dates but here is an excerpt from: A History of Christianity, by Kenneth Scott Latourette, 1953.
​
Pre-Christian in its origin, Gnosticism assumed, as did so much of Hellenistic thought, a sharp disjunction between matter and spirit.

they predate every gospel and are possibly as old as just four years after the crucifixtion.
Unless I've missed an update, I thought the crucifixion was around 33CE.
​
The earliest date I've seen for the epistles is 51CE.

There's no argument that the Paul predates the gospels, but I haven't seen anything that brings any of them within four years of the crucifixion.
