I picked up this beatiful little book today - its very old -It has a silky material cover in teal green - like a water taffeta and the title is embossed into the cover. Its a Rider book.
It is wonderful! It is full of wordly quotes for its time ... but thats the problem ... I dont know anything about this book as there is no information about the printing date etc ...
There is a mention of previous books though ...
The Life of Louis Claude De Saint-Martin.
The Doctrine and the Literature of the Kabalah.
A Book of Vision & Mystery.
Strange Houses of Sleep.
Studies in Mysticism and Certain Aspects of the Secret Tradition.
The Hidden Church of the Holy Grail.
The book itself has seem better days, and has been a nutritional supplement for some small creature ... The pages are browned, but the paper is also very brittle ... they almost feel like cardboard, they are very thick - one page has 'snapped' its so old ... some pages havent been 'cut' and so those pages fld back into the spine.
Anyone know anything about these books and how old they maybe ... or where I can find some information on them ...
These are the chapter titles in the book:
Part One: The fashions of This World
1. Counsels of Caiaphas
2. Spirits in Rebellion
Part Two: Thresholds of Many Sactuaries
1. Man and Nature
2. Aids to Mortality
3. If Love be Ours
4. Substitutes of the True Knowledge
5. Letters of The Word
Part 3: Shadows of the Secret Light.
1. Lesser Aids to Refection
2. Mysteries of Being
3. Seasons of Sorrow
4. Precints of the Temple
5. Words of Understanding
Part 4: Consolations of the Greater Law
1. Prospects of the Heights
2. De Rebus Majoribus
3. Gates of Enterance
4. The Path of Union
