Hardcover. First edition. Introduction and commentary by Manly P. Hall. Folio. 113pp. Illustrated. Color plates, foldout notes. Elaborately printed in orange and black. Quarter red leather gilt and red cloth. A bit of edgewear at the spine ends and extreme corners of the joints, else near fine. Signed by the author on the half-title: "Very Sincerely, Manly P. Hall." Reprinted many times in smaller formats, this is the extremely scarce first edition published by Hall in 1938. Preacher and mystic Manly P. Hall collected rare manuscripts and books from all over the world. According to the Getty Research Institute, "The acquisition of the Manly Palmer Hall Collection in 1995 provided the Getty Research Institute with one of the world's leading collections of alchemy, esoterica, and hermetica."
