Rare opportunity to acquire a complete, limited edition set of Albert Pike’s Indo-Aryan Deities and Worship, Irano-Aryan Faith and Doctrine, and Lectures of the Arya. This three-volume work is distinguished by Pike’s pioneering comparative study of Indo-European religions, where he explores and draws insightful connections between the spiritual beliefs and rituals of the Indo-Aryan and Irano-Aryan traditions. Complete sets seldom appear on the market. 

All volumes are bound in the original publisher’s ¾ leather binding. Most copies of this set were originally distributed within Masonic circles—directly to lodges and members—so it's common to find Masonic association markings, as seen in this set. The set is overall in Very Good condition. I have included precise condition details for each volume below.
