Gervais-Anet Bouchet - Cosmogonie humaine. Essai de synthèse des sciences divinatoires. Chiromancie complète - 1917

Original edition of this important work dedicated to divinatory sciences, authored by Elie Alta, pseudonym of Gervais-Anet Bouchet, published in Vichy in 1917.

From the first print run, one of the 520 copies on glossy snow-white vellum paper, numbered at the press. This one is No. 336.

Rich iconography composed of more than 450 explanatory figures in black within the text.

Bound in half-burgundy leather, with a floral blind-ruled spine, decorated with the title in gilt letters. A fine work, with a sturdy binding showing some signs of use, with rounded corners. Interior clean and fresh, without foxing or rare stains. A crease on the half-title page.

I am a positivist mystic, meaning I provide the material proof of the reason behind mysticism; thus, the practical part of this work supports the metaphysical part. This metaphysics may seem personal, but it is not; what I present is as old as the world, and nothing can be attributed to me. Dear reader, be indulgent towards the author and patiently familiarize yourself with prophetic science.
