Her-Bak "Chick Pea" The Living Face of Ancient Egypt.
New York, NY: Inner Traditions International, 1978. First US Edition. Softcover. Large octavo. 344pp + iv adverts. Printed card covers, b&w illustrations, footnotes. The first of two volumes on the life and initiation of the fictional Her-Bak. From the publisher: "In these fictional accounts, the wisdom of Ancient Egypt is revealed through the eyes of a young Her-Bak, a candidate for initiation into the Inner Temple. The events related take place between the XX and XXI dynasties. In this volume Her-Bak's training in the living school of Nature and in the Outer Temple unfolds." "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. Light chafing to edges and points, a bit of rubbing and creasing to rear cover - otherwise a tight, bright VG+ copy. Item #63128
