Codex Rose Crucis D.O.M.A; a rare and curious manuscript of Rosicrucian Interest by Manly P Hall 

Publication: 1971 Philosophical Research Society 

Often considered the most desirable edition mostly due to its beautiful pictorial cover and dual colored D.O.M.A. translation, which was not present in subsequent editions. An important Rosicrucian work originally published by Manly P. Hall in 1938. Beautifully illustrated throughout The works is compiled into a series of essays on historic Rosicrucian texts along with an analysis of presumed Rosicrucians; all of which Hall analyses in impressive detail coupled with an unapologetic tone. At times challenging his predecessors and contemporaries alike, while ascribing praise in the areas Hall deems credit is due.

An important text in the canon of Rosicrucianism; Hall redeems many of the previously faulty notions on the subject while validating his points with historic facts. All the while masterfully administering certain esoteric undertones that are left up to the reader to discover.

The research stands the test of time. Hall himself never revised the text. A testament to how profusely adamant Hall stood by his convictions on the subject.

The second half of the book is a translation of the eighteenth century German "D.O.M.A. manuscript" entitled "Codex Rosae Crucis." Hall observed that the work combined all the Rosicrucian interests of "Alchemy, hermetic philosophy, mystic Christianity, cabalism and ceremonial magic, ontology and cosmogony, Pythagorean and Platonic numerology, Gnostic Christianity, classical pagan mythology, medicine and pharmacology, and comparative religion," suggesting that the mysterious acronym D.O.M.A. might stand for "Deo Optimo Maximo Altissimo."

Condition:  Decorative cover boards with title to spine, tiny tear to upper joint near heard of spine,  a clean copy with some minor scuffing along the edges, overall a bright copy in Very Good condition
