Los Angeles, Philosophical Research Society, 1988. Diamond Jubilee Edition, first printing. Elephant folio, a very long 32 x 48.5 cm (!) book, unpaginated, CCXLV chapters, 48 colored pictures and many more black and white pictures throughout. Patterned boards, 1/4 leather spine, leather cover label, gilt cover/spine titles. Seems to be a reprint of the 1928 subscriber edition. No former ownership marks. Light rubbing on the front cover plate, first 5 pages show some foxing, fore-edges slightly yellowed, otherwise very clean and sound, in great shape. The grandest compendium ever gathered of esoteric lore, mythology, and historical anecdote. Filled to the brim with ancient woodcuts. A dense encyclopedia and a solid starting point from which to dive into subjects such as the Qabbala, Alchemy, Tarot, Ceremonial Magic, Neo-Platonic Philosophy, Mystery Religions, and the theory of Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry.
Please note that shipping is NOT included in the price. A highly interesting offer for readers outside of the United States.
