Dogma of High Magic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781105063053)

This is the First Volume of the Second Edition of the Occult Classic Dogma and Ritual of High Magic by Eliphas Levi (originally published in French in 1861). It was previously translated into English with the title of Transcendental Magic by A. E. Waite in 1910. Waite's translation lacks something that the publishers hope this new translation will provide. This volume is presented in a Bilingual format (English side-by-side with the original French) with copious footnotes and lots of illustrations. It also includes the 'Preliminary Discourse' to the Second Edition which has only recently been translated into English. Levi states that he has created a "complete course" on the science of the ancient magi, which is made up of 3 parts (in 4 volumes): Dogma and Ritual of High Magic, the History of Magic, and the Key to the Great Mysteries. His statement about this course is included as the 'Preface' to this new edition in order to facilitate the reader's understanding of his objectives.
