Her-Bak Egyptian Initiate.
New York, NY: Inner Traditions International, 1978. First complete English language edition. Softcover. Large octavo. 400pp. Printed card covers, b&w illustrations, footnotes. The second of two volumes on the life and initiation of the fictional Her-Bak. From the publisher: "After the picturesque experiences of the first volume, 'Her-Bak, Chickpea,' which unfolds young Her-Bak's training in the living school of Nature and in the Outer Temple, this second and independent volume presents his initiation into the Inner Temple and his progressive penetration of the esoteric aspects of the Egyptian Mystery teachings." "In her Her-Bak Books Isha Schwaller de Lubicz transmitted in a fictional context the atmosphere and teachings of ancient Egypt, based on her extensive research and collaboration with her husband, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz." The author's husband and collaborator, René Adolphe Schwaller de Lubicz ( 1887 -1961), was a French mystic and author who popularized the use of sacred geometry in Egyptology during his study of the art and architecture of the Temple of Luxor in Egypt. Chafing to edges and points, a bit of rubbing and creasing to rear cover - otherwise a tight, bright VG+ copy. Item #63127
