Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript book of the registers of the conjurations sessions by the first Turkish spiritualist group. 20x15 cm. In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). [154] p., several hand-drawn ills. Group has Bedri Ruhselman, (1898-1960), Albert Braun, (Violinist and Ruhselman's violin teacher of German origin), Hans Ianma (Violin teacher), Hasan Saadeddin Bey, (Turkish spiritualist), and Doctor Zühdü Riza Bey, (Turkish musician, Kemençe teacher, a friend of Sadeddin Arel). Dr. Bedri Ruhselman (1898-1960), the founder of NeoSpiritism and "the Experimental New Spiritism". Ruhselman's point of view and a new perspective to the concepts such as creation, spirit, afterlife, birth incarnation, and rebirth-reincarnation are pioneers in the Early Turkish Republican period. Ruhselman's empirical perspective on "afterlife", one of the most important and primary subjects of theology, has made important contributions to spiritism, out of the classical standpoint. (Source: Ruhselman and his metaphysical vision, Kestel). Albert Braun was Ruhselman's violin teacher and his friend. It's said this early spiritualist group is the pioneer and elitist of Neo-Spiritualism in Turkey. He is considered a Mission Medium, a very rare category within spiritual mediumship. By definition, every medium has a varying degree of ability to tune in to spiritual "frequencies". But not all "reception" (coming from those frequencies) convey a meaningful message (sometimes if any). While mediumship is a gift (meaning that; one either has it or not); very few mediums are actually knowledgeable in spiritual matters. They simply transfer what they capture from their sensitive channels. And once in a while, mainstream media picks on certain mediums, especially when he/she delivers sensational predictions (i.e. Edgar Cayce). Bedri Ruhselman's both interest and gift was manifested since his early childhood. He was conducting spiritual sessions when he was only 12 years old. While continuing his musical education in the Prague Conservatory, in the 1920s, he studied the pioneers of classic spiritualism like Allen Kardec, Gustave Geley, Charles Richet, Leon Denis, William Crooks and become experienced in hypnotism and spiritual sessions. He also completed his medical education and graduated as a medical doctor. In 1950 by establishing Metapsychic Investigations and Scientific Research Society, he gifted an institutional identity to Neo-Spiritualism. His true duty started in 1958 by means of spiritual sessions with a guide being from higher spiritual plans which identified itself as "The Master". Ruhselman and his carefully selected mediums received a vast amount of knowledge via these sessions during a few months. That body of knowledge has been compiled as a book, which Ruhselman never claimed any ownership (stating that it's purely a gift from the higher spiritual plan). The plan has instructed that; the book was only to be released in the future - to be identified by a certain sign. That point alone commends recognition for pure selfless devotion towards undertaken duty. If the ego was in play; one would usually do anything for fame or at least to cash on the subject. But Ruhselman completes his true duty and hands over the book for safekeeping without ever mentioning one word about the content. He passes away a few months after (1960). (Source: Indication23).

Modern full blue leather binding, with raised bands. The original French marbled endpapers are preserved. Michel de Nostredame (1503-1566), usually Latinized to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous world-wide. He is best known for this book Les Propheties, which first appeared in 1555. The book has rarely been out of print since his death. All the early editions are very idiosyncratic and deserving of study. Nostradamus attracted an enthusiastic following who, along with the popular press, credit him with predicting many major world events. Interest in the work of this prominent figure of the French Renaissance is still considerable, especially in the media and in popular culture, and the prophecies have in some cases been assimilated to the results of applying the alleged Bible Code, as well as to other purported prophetic works.

In 16 (cm 12 x 16), pp. (24) con 9 tavole illustrate in bianco/nero. Brossura editoriale. Catalogo della mostra di opere di Carra', del suo periodo 'metafisico', svoltasi alla Galleria Paolo Chini di Milano dal 18 dicembre 1917 al 10 gennaio 1918. Comprende una poesia iniziale di Paolo Buzzi dal titolo "Carra'": "Cio' che tu sei / rompe la storia. Cio' che tu fai / cazzotta la natura. Va / ubbriaco di genio, / alle botte della gloria / con le tue gambe corte di Bacco / e cavalca l'abisso delle spume alcooliche / squarciagolando [...]". Segue un testo dello stesso Carra', al quale si intercalano le 9 tavole con le riproduzioni di opere, quindi l'elenco finale delle opere esposte con i titoli dei 30 dipinti e dei 43 disegni. Carra' si presenta ancora in abiti futuristi, dichiarando tuttavia al contempo anche un allontanamento dal movimento, nel presentare le opere nello studio del fotografo Paolo Chini, e nelle parole del testo del catalogo in cui la sua autopresentazione e' esplicita: "Originalita' e tradizione non sono poi termini di contraddizione, per chi bene intende (...) Noi possiamo, ora, dopo un decennio di ricerche appassionate, sostenere il giudizio e la sentenza. Il contenuto metafisico delle mie opere esige dall'osservatore sensibilita' di percezione e un concetto adulto dello stile". In mostra, da un lato, i dipinti della stagione futurista come "Simultaneita' (donna al balcone)", "Trascendenze plastiche", "Donna + bottiglia + casa", dall'altro "La musa metafisica", "Solitudine", "Il dio ermafrodito" di nuova ascendenza metafisica. Savinio e de Chirico si erano incontrati con Carlo Carra' a Ferrara alla fine di marzo del 1917. Inizio' cosi' un breve ma intenso sodalizio che segno' la nascita del gruppo Metafisica in Italia. Per qualche mese de Chirico e Carra', entrambi ricoverati come nevrastenici presso la Villa del Seminario, lavorano insieme in grande accordo e amicizia, come testimonia la loro corrispondenza con Papini e Soffici che avevano propiziato il loro incontro. Tuttavia, nelle rispettive autobiografie, i due artisti ricostruiranno gli eventi che li portarono a conoscersi e il sodalizio in modo diverso: Carra' accennando ad incontri casuali con alcuni artisti e letterati, tra cui de Chirico, e non parlando del loro sodalizio, de Chirico accusando Carra' di aver rifatto spudoratamente i soggetti dei suoi quadri metafisici e di essersi affrettato a organizzare una mostra a Milano (questa del dicembre del 1917) probabilmente con la speranza di "persuadere i suoi contemporanei che egli era il solo ed unico inventore della pittura metafisica ed io, caso mai, un suo oscuro e modesto imitatore" scrisse de Chirico.

359 p. 12mo. 16 cm. Foxed. Contemporary full leather binding. (American) manuscript ownership of John Meyers. An important collection of German Christian mystical texts. This edition is very scarce, and especially more interesting for its American ownership. Jakob Boehme (or Böhme) [1575-1624], German religious mystic, a cobbler of Görlitz, in England also called Behmen. He was a student of the Bible and was influenced by Paracelsus. In his major works, De signatura rerum (The Signature of all Things) and Mysterium magnum, Boehme describes God as the abyss, the nothing and the all, the primordial depths from which the creative will struggles forth to find manifestation and self-consciousness. Evil is a result of the striving of single elements of Deity to become the whole; conflict ensues as man and nature strive to achieve God who, in himself, contains all antithetical principles. Boehme exerted a profound influence on the philosophies of Baader, Schelling, Hegel, and Schopenhauer. Boehme claimed divine revelation and had many followers in Germany and Holland. Societies of Behmenites were formed in England; many of them were later absorbed by the Quakers. QUITE SCARCE AND IMPORTANT. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA 011A.

Swedish philosopher, scientist and religious writer, Emanuel Sewdenborg (Swedenbourg) [1688-1772] established himself as an inventor and scientist. He started having visions in 1743, and devoted himself thereafter to psychical and spiritual research. interpreting the scriptures as the immediate voice of God. He taught that all scripture contains an inner, spiritual sense which is not at all obvious from the natural sense of the word, or our understanding of the world. Among other things, he taught: that the universe is filled with inhabited planets, which are peopled by perfect human forms just like those on our earth; that their spirits in the spirit world can be seen and contacted, and he proceeds to describe some of their inhabitants ('Worlds in Space'); in 'Heaven and Hell' he describes in detail the heaven and hell of the spirit world, and how people and societies there function and are organized; in 'Divine Love and Wisdom' he describes the nature of that divine Spirit which emanates from the Deity, called in the scriptures the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, and which appears in the spirit world as the sun, and gives light and heat to the inhabitants of that world - its light having the effect of intelligence, and its heat having the effect of love; in 'The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Concerning the Lord' he discusses the spiritual interpretation of the doctrine of the Godhead; Etc. Although he never preached publicly or formally founded a religious sect, his followers which included many artisits and freethinkers (among them William Blake) constituted a considerable society which became known as the New Jerusalem Church.
