(The Golden Dawn) Two important works. Ithell Colquhoun. 'Sword of Wisdom,' first edition, original cloth, some small nibbles to unclipped dj designed by Juanita Grout, light marking to edge of text block, pp.307, colour frontis and twenty plates, a very good and scarce first edition, Neville Spearman, London, 1975.From the renowned artist and occultist about MacGregor Mathers and 'The Golden Dawn'. This unusual work gives special attention to its Celtic affiliations. A useful feature is the tabulated account of it's temples and their membership. A fascinating work that has played an important role in the British surrealist movement.Arthur Machen and A. E. Waite. 'The House of the Hidden Light. Manifested and Set Forth in Certain Letters Communicated from a Lodge of the Adepts,' first edition limited to 350 copies, gilt tooled original green cloth, unclipped dj, former stock of 'The Atlantis Bookshop', pp.152, vg to fine, Tartarus Press, Ferret Fantasy, 2003.This definitive translation of the text features heavily in Colquhoun's 'Sword of Wisdom'. Colquhoun argues that 'The House of Hidden Light', which she attributes solely to Waite, forms part of a ritual text relating to 'sexual magic' and is concerned specifically with 'sexual congress with preternatural beings' (p.288). This translation, published ninety nine years after written, has an explanatory introduction and annotated text by renowned Waite scholar R. A. Gilbert. It goes some way toward understanding this mysterious text.

Strozzi Cigogna (1568-1605): 'Del palagio de gl'incanti, et delle gran merauiglie de gli spiriti, & di tutta la natura : Diuiso in libri XXXXV. & in III. prospettiue. Spirituale, celeste, et elementare / di Strozzi Cigogna gentilhuomo Vincention, theologo, filososo, & dottor di leggid, & nuncio della Citta di Vicenza', Brescia, Appresso Francesco Tebaldino, 1605, 1st edition,[40],623,[1]pp, wood engraved device on title page, decorative woodcut initials, 8vo, old paper covered boards, m/s title to spine. First edition of the author’s most important work on occultism (The first edition of 1605 was published simultaneously, by four different publishers, in Venice and Brescia.) Strozzi Cigogna (1568-1605) studied law at Padua; a late humanist, he devoted himself to poetry and philosophy, achieving lasting fame with ‘Il Palagio degl’incanti’, published in 1605. It is a treatise on daemonology—a winning combination of ancient and Scholastic theories on god, the nature and origin of the world, with a Renaissance interest towards pagan, Christian, Hermetic and Cabalistic ideas, and a wealth of learned and popular anecdotes. Some of these Cicogna had heard from the archpriest of Barbarano, near his hometown Vicenza, who recounted supernatural events which had happened to him (‘Storia popolare d’Italia’, VII, 163). ‘The most comprehensive and original treatise on angelic beings ever written in early modern Europe’ (Maggi, ‘Company of Demons’, 17). Robert Burton drew heavily from Cigogna’s work for his ‘Anatomy of Melancholy’; one of Cigogna’s anecdotes inspired a poem by the English Gothic novelist Matthew Gregory Lewis; Paul Dubé: 'Il medico de' poveri, trattato prattico che insegna il modo di curare qualsivogliano infirmità humane per via di medicamenti di niuna, o pochissima spesa...
