New York, NY: Occult Research Press, ND [ 1950 ]. First Edition Thus. Softcover. Small octavo. (ii) + 44pp, (+ iipp - blank) Stapled in printed card covers. A reprint of the revised edition of Westcott's translation of the Kabbalistic treatise "Sepher Yetzirah". It was first published in 1887 and later reissued as the tenth volume of the "Collectanea Hermetica" series, edited by W. Wynn Westcott (1848 – 1925). Westcott was of course one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Supreme Magus of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA), and Master of Quatuor Coronati Lodge (the well-known London Masonic Lodge devoted to Masonic research). The present edition was published by "Occult Research Press" - an early imprint of what would become Samuel Weiser Publishing, and is quite uncommon, especially in such nice condition. Wrappers a bit darkened and lightly rubbed & creased, Aquarian Book Service ink stamp on front blank, pages lightly toned, else an clean, unmarked VG+ copy of this scarce edition. Item #68120
