[Esoterisme] [Manuscript] ELIPHAS LEVI [CONSTANT (Louis-Alphonse)]: The Wisdom of the Ancients. Collection of symbolic figures with legends and explanations, by Eliphas Levi, professor of occult sciences. 1874. One volume. 19 by 26 cm. 401 pages (complete). Contemporary speckled half-basane, smooth spine with 4 gilt fillets, boards illustrated with a large gilt plate. Some rubbing to spine, gold on boards slightly faded, corners dulled, inner hinges weak, copy partly unstuck. But overall good condition. The manuscript consists of 99 figures (photographs, engravings, pen-and-ink drawings, watercolors) with commentary, in a set intended as a general synthesis of a thought that encompasses religions, Kabbalah, Freemasonry, etc. First series: Sohar and Kabbalah Second series: Paracelsus' Prophecy 3rd series: Sin, Hell, Death and Redemption. 4th series: Indian wisdom. 5th series: Comparative wisdom of the Bible and the Gospel. 6th series: Egypt. Kabbalah and magic. 7th series: Keys to the Egyptian Tarot. This last series includes Symbolic Astrology, and The Devil's Sermon on the Mount. In particular, the 32 figures of the "Prognosticatio eximii doctoris Theophrasti Paracelsi" (1536 edition, photographed), the Egyptian tarot keys with all their figures, and a symbolic astrology presented in 14 watercolors by Eliphas LEVI, with extensive commentary on their reverse. Each illustration is left free, retained in the manuscript by a fold in the page. And preceded by a page of handwritten comments by Eliphas Lévi. The manuscript is complete with all illustrations, and is signed at the end by Eliphas Lévi. "Original manuscript in the hand of the famous Eliphas Lévi, composed one year before his death. It was probably this collection that Eliphas Lévi was referring to when he wrote to his pupil Baron de Spédaliéri on January 23, 1974: I still hope that we'll resume our lessons regularly and finish our course, which remains unfinished; the album I'm working on will be a complement to it and like an atlas." This manuscript album remains unpublished. Alphonse-Louis CONSTANT (1810-1875), who took the author's name of Eliphas Lévi Zahed, the Hebrew translation of his name, had a full life. Steeped in religion, politically committed, utopian, Freemason, cabalist, painter (he illustrated novels by DUMAS), he was a great scholar, devoting most of his work to highly learned esoteric analyses. He remains famous for his profound occultist writings. "Provenance of this manuscript: Library of Christiane Buisset, founder of the Cercle Eliphas Lévi, also founder of several Masonic Lodges in the Memphis Rite (Egyptian Rite)". This manuscript belonged to Stanislas de GUAITA, famous scholar and esotericist, N°1348 in his library catalog. A unique document, which should be published... For passionate collectors.
