Codex Rose Crucis D.O.M.A; a rare and curious manuscript of Rosicrucian Interest by Manly P Hall
Publication: 1971 Philosophical Research Society
Considered the most desirable edition of the Codex Rosae Crucis, this significant Rosicrucian work by Manly P. Hall, originally published in 1938, features a stunning pictorial cover and the unique dual-colored D.O.M.A. translation. The book is a collection of essays analyzing historic Rosicrucian texts, showcasing Hall's detailed critique and praise of various figures in the field.
Hall skillfully dispels misconceptions about Rosicrucianism, grounding his insights in historical facts while infusing the text with esoteric themes for readers to explore. Notably, Hall never revised this work, underscoring his firm beliefs. The latter part includes the eighteenth-century German "D.O.M.A. manuscript," "Codex Rosae Crucis," which integrates themes of alchemy, hermetic philosophy, mystic Christianity, and more. Hall suggests that D.O.M.A. may represent "Deo Optimo Maximo Altissimo."
