La voie des maîtres, pendant exact de la voie des rites dans la plupart des traditions " religieuses ", fut admirablement incarnée au XXème siècle par le maître spirituel arménien G.I. Gurdjieff (1866-1949). L'enseignement de celui-ci, d'origine éclectique, empruntait aussi bien à la philosophie grecque de l'antiquité (Pythagore, Platon, Hermès Trismégiste) qu'à l'ésotérisme biblique et à ses sources égyptienne et mésopotamienne, ainsi qu'à l'islam ésotérique (soufisme). Gurdjieff transmit son enseignement sous diverses formes (danses, musiques, livres), mais aussi à travers deux de ses chefsd'oeuvre : l'ennéagramme (un diagramme symbolique), et l'échelle spirituelle des Idiots (destinée à accompagner les toasts au cours des repas pris en commun).

Description:
1863 Common Prayer Renaissance BIBLE Woodcuts Queen Elizabeth Bizarre Skeletons!!

An absolutely beautiful printing of the Book of Common Prayer from the Church of England. While editions of the Book of Common Prayer were printed for centuries before and after this edition, this printing is of particular value because of the impressive illustrations and illustrated borders.
While many of the illustrations are just decorative, some of the images are rather bizarre – such as the 'Psalms of David' which is bordered by skeletons and depictions of death! It also includes an allegorical view of Queen Elizabeth I.

Description:
1778 Beccaria Crimes and Punishment TORTURE Death Penalty Law Thomas Jefferson
Cesare Beccaria was an 18th-century Italian jurist known for his studies in criminology at the height of the Age of Enlightenment. His best and most important book was 'On Crimes and Punishment' – one of the foundational books in criminology. Beccaria discusses the use of torture as a means of gaining information, and the death penalty in punishments for crimes, arguing strongly against both.
Beccaria's 'Crimes and Punishments'
was widely read throughout the western world and would become a favorite of both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. This 1778 English edition contains a curious commentary which, according to the title page, is attributed to Voltaire.

Unmarked and in good condition. The original jacket and glassine cover is worn and chipped (please see photos) but still good. About the book: George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, (1877-1949) was a Greco-Armenian mystic and philosopher who founded an influential quasi-religious movement. Gurdjieff taught that people are not conscious of themselves and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and serve our purpose as human beings. Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson is the first book of a trilogy in which Gurdjieff set forth his 'Fourth Way' spiritual mysticism.
