Rare esoteric rarity: Limited first edition of Manly P. Hall's masterwork “The Phoenix” (1931).
On offer is a genuine rarity for collectors of occultism, Freemasonry and secret philosophy: The monumental first edition of “The Phoenix: An Illustrated Review of Occultism and Philosophy” from the years 1931–1932, published by Hall Publishing Co. in Los Angeles. This historical publication appeared in a strictly limited edition of only 3,000 copies worldwide. The offered copy is a fascinating time capsule from the golden age of the esoteric Renaissance of the early 20th century – only a few years before the founding of Hall's famous Philosophical Research Society in 1934. The large-format Folio work impresses with a deep collection of essays on mysticism, Eastern philosophy and Western occultism. Among the famous chapters are, among others: Albert Pike: The Plato of Freemasonry, The Comte de St.-Germain, The Wheel of Pythagoras, H.P.B. (Madame Blavatsky): The Russian Sphinx, The Great Pyramid. The book is also characterized by its rich adornment with numerous illustrations that visually support the mystical text.
