Welcome to this, the fourteenth of our on-line catalogs. Although we have entitled it 'Books on the Kabbalah', it could more accurately be called 'Books on the Kabbalah in the Western Hermetic and Philosophical Traditions,' as that is its particular emphasis.

Indeed the first section, on Rare Books, contains a number of works that stand out as landmarks in the history of the engagement of Western Hermeticism with Kabbalistic thought. The most famous, and earliest of these works, is a First English language edition of, Mosaicall Philosophy (1659) by the English physician, Rosicrucian and mystic Robert Fludd (1574 - 1637). Another significant early work is the Collection Of Several Philosophical Writings (1712-1713) of Dr. Henry More, which includes his Conjectura Cabbalistica, and Defence of the Threefold Cabbala. More, who is most widely remembered as one of the Cambridge Platonists, was greatly influenced by his friend Francis Mercurius van Helmont, who with Knorr von Rosenroth, compiled the famous Kabbala Denudata. A copy of the First Edition of the English language translation of the Kabbala Denudata, published by S. L. MacGregror Mathers under the title The Kabbalah Unveiled, (1887) is also available. Mathers was of course one of the originators of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which was founded not long after his publication of The Kabbalah Unveiled, and the work became a textbook for the study of the Kabbalah which was used not only by his brethren in the Golden Dawn, but by generations of occultists thereafter.

Isaac Myer's weighty work Qabbalah, The Philosophical Writings ..(etc).. which was published just a year after Mathers' The Kabbalah Unveiled, is another serious study, and one that was highly regarded by the likes of Mme. Blavatsky. Unfortunately for Myer a certain confusion about the sequence and roles of the Sephiroth (p 258 - 263) has tended to overshadow the importance of the rest of the work. There were two printings of the First Edition of Myer's Qabbalah, - one on large paper, and one on standard size paper - both in limited number. A copy of each is included in this catalog. Less problematic, and arguably even more influential, are the first editions of three books by Arthur Edward Waite, which conclude our rare books listings: The Doctrine and Literature of the Kabalah, (1902), The Secret Doctrine in Israel, (1913), and The Holy Kabbalah, (1929) which was effectively a revised consolidation of the two earlier books.

The second section of the catalog comprises a collection of different editions of Aleister Crowley's famous Kabbalistic study, Seven Seven Seven. Noteable amongst these is a nice copy of the First Edition of the book, complete with the often-lacking errata page with the Tree of Life design on the verso. These are followed by a selection of limited editions of the three major works on the Kabbalah by Frater Achad: Charles Stansfeld Jones (1886-1950), the man whom Aleister Crowley accepted - at least temporarily - as his 'magical son.' Achad published his controversial reassignment of the attributions of the paths linking the sephiroth in an appendix to his book Q.B.L., or The Bride's Reception (1922), and later expanded upon them in The Egyptian Revival (1923). His third major Kabbalistic study: The Anatomy of the Body of God, (1925) focused particularly on the relationship between the Tarot and the Tree of Life. Signed First Editions of all three works are offered, as well as two limited edition reprints.

The final section of the catalog lists over seventy New, Used and Out-of-Print Works on the history and practice of the Kabbalah, including books by Frater Albertus, Franz Bardon, John Bonner, W. E. Butler, Fabre D'Olivet, Perle Epstein, Dion Fortune, David Godwin, William G. Gray, Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi, Aryeh Kaplan, Gareth Knight, Eliphas Levi, S. L. MacGregor Mathers, Israel Regardie, Gershom G. Scholem, Stephen Skinner, William Stirling, A. E. Waite, and many others.

Our next catalog, Number 15, will be on Alchemy & the Hermetic Arts. It should be out late in March, 2007. Future catalogs will of course include more of our specialist lists on Aleister Crowley, with others planned on Witchcraft, Mythology, Theosophy, Magic, Grimoires, and other of our specialties.

Robert Fludd, Mosaicall Philosophy. Grounded upon the Essential Truth or Eternal Sapience. Humphrey: London, 1659. First English Edition. Hardcover, Folio, ii (of vi) + 300pp. Later patterned morocco boards, with gilt stamped leather title label. A landmark work. The First English language edition of one of the first books to be published in English on what is sometimes termed 'the Hermetic Kabbalah.' Robert Fludd (1574 - 1637), was a prominent English physician, a Rosicrucian with an interest in astrology, natural magic and mysticism, he was greatly influenced by the teachings of Paracelsus. In the Mosaicall Philosophy, Fludd combines core Platonist thought with a fusion of alchemy and Kabbalah, in a great metaphysical exploration. The title page darkened and a little chipped and has been laid down and remounted. The two conjugate, unsigned leaves of Fludd's introduction "To the...Reader" which should follow the title page are lacking. The text thereafter is complete, although approx. half of the second leaf is wanting and has been carefully replaced in beautifully penned contemporary manuscript, as have pp. 43 - 46, & 273 -274. There is a thumb-sized chip from the margin of pages 207/208 affecting a couple of the marginal captions, but not the text itself. A few old ink stains, small repairs, and general signs of use. Pages darkened throughout, although they remain supple and are tight in their later binding. A nice, albeit well-used copy of an extremely scarce book.

Augustus Knapp, and approx. two hundred black and white illustrations taken from rare occult works. It remains one of the most famous - and impressive - books in the Western esoteric canon.

The first esoteric work to be published by Mathers (1854-1918), one of the most famous magicians of the time, and one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the fraternity in which Aleister Crowley got his early magical training, and which had such a profound influence on his own occult career. The Kabbalah Unveiled is a translation of the Kabbala Denudata of Knorr von Rosenroth (1677) which contained translations into Latin of parts of the Zohar and other Kabbalistic texts. A clipping from a 1930s bookseller's catalogue advertising a seventeenth century edition of the Kabbalah Denudata has been pasted to the blank verso of the front free end paper, a few pencil marks in margins, small discoloured patch on front pastedown, where a bookplate has been removed.

In this early English-language work on the subject, More identified a "Threefold Cabbala, Literal, Philosophical, and Mystical, or Divinely Moral," which he explored in the light of his own spiritual philosophy and the perceived secret interpretations of Genesis it revealed.

About This Catalog & How To Purchase From It.

top

This is Weiser's 81st year of business as specialist sellers of esoteric books and for many decades the company issued printed catalogs, however, the high costs involved brought an end to these, and for the last five years we have listed books on various internet book-sites and directly on to our own website:http://www.weiserantiquarian.com Whilst we will continue to add new stock weekly to the 13,000 books currently listed on our website, we will also post occasional catalogs such as this on-line.

These catalogs give us the opportunity to present collections or groups of related items in a more detailed and sympathetic context than the normal website allows, and will also enable us to give our established customers first choice at some of the more interesting new arrivals, as well as to offer them 'special' or bargain items. The items in this catalog will not be advertised elsewhere - in the main body of our website or on other bookselling sites - until at least a week after the catalogs have been posted on-line. If you would like to be notified by email when we post a new catalog on-line, please send an email with 'subscribe' in the subject line to books@weiserantiquarian.com You can have your name removed from the list at any time, simply by asking, and of course we will not re-supply your details to anyone.

Please keep in mind that in most cases we only have one copy of the book listed available for sale, and that it is therefore advisable to order promptly if you wish to secure it.

The books can be ordered by telephone, mail, fax (please telephone before sending a fax), or email. When ordering a book please tell us the author, title, and, most importantly, the 'unique book number' (that is the number in brackets next to the price) of the book or books you wish to purchase. Postage and insurance, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser at cost.

We will advise promptly whether the book or books you ordered are still available, and the postage options. Customers from within the United States may pay by Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, or Amex), money order, or check (or in-person by cash). Overseas customers can pay by Credit Card, or by International Money Order or Bank Draft payable in U.S. dollars.

Please contact us if you have any queries. Our email for enquiries or orders is:
books@weiserantiquarian.com

or you can telephone us on: 207-363-7253

If calling from overseas please dial your international access code, followed by the country code for the US (1) and then 207-363-7253.

As our business is 95% internet / phone / and mail-order we do not keep regular 'shop hours.' However, we are usually available to answer queries between 10am and 4pm, weekdays, EST (Eastern Standard Time) that is the same time zone as Boston.
