The Secret Doctrine in Israel by A.E. Waite

Publication:1913 William Rider & Son First Edition

This elusive First US Edition delves into the intricate world of the Kabalah, by Arthur Edward Waite. He characterizes the work as an inward study of the Zohar as a contribution to the general mystical tradition. R. A. Gilbert articulately observes, No other work in English matches the depth, clarity, and intellectual rigor of Waites exploration, despite certain inaccuracies that arise from his dependence on less-than-ideal translations. Waites profound insights into Kabbalism have earned him high praise from Gershom Scholem, recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the subject.
