Codex Rosae Crucis, D.O.M.A. A Rare & Curious Manuscript of Rosicrucian Interest.

5 reviews
Manly P. Hall

Philosophical Research Society Inc, 1996

A must for the serious student of hermetic arts!
Considered the definitive work in the field of hermetic arts, this wonderful large book is also very ornate, containing full-color plates and two-color manuscript section. Most notable of these images is the only known representation of the Temple of the Rosy Cross from an engraving in 1618. The book contains the English translation accompanying a facsimile of the original eighteenth century ...

The Codex Borgia: A Full-Color Restoration of the Ancient Mexican Manuscript

8 reviews
Gisele Diaz, Alan Rodgers

Dover Publications, 1993

Excellent, and at this price...
This is a wonderful resouce for those interested in ancient Mexico. Full photographic facsimilies of these codices are hideously expensive, and really, most are not in great shape. After extensive research, we have here a great reproduction of what this important work looked like when it was "fresh off the presses." It is beautiful, and in comparison to Dover's similar Codex Nuttall, this work ...

Codex Telleriano-Remensis: Ritual, Divination, and History in a Pictorial Aztec Manuscript

Review from Columbia [Magazine of Columbia U.], 1996
"The 16th-century Codex Telleriano-Remensis was a rare colonial enterprise: an intercultural exchange between Indian artists and Spanish overseers. It was created in an attempt to understand Aztec culture in light of its transformed present. The result was a well-organized manuscript with invaluable information about the Aztec calendar, mythology, rituals, history, and politics. Through ...

Red Dragon Codex (Dragonlance: the New Adventure)

Mirrorstone, 2008

Great for ANY age
I love dragons, so picking up this book was a no-brainer--even though I'm a long way out of the "target age group" (never mind how far). Like all the great quest stories, this book has great characters, mysteries, dangers, and unexpected heroes. Though a super-fast read for me, I was never bored. In fact, as it progressed, I didn't want to put it down. Like with Harry Potter, it doesn't ...

Italica Pr, 1993

An Excellent Book by an Excellent Scholar
I personally knew Mr. Melczer both as my instructor and later as a friend and I simply cannot say enough about this man. Studying in Spain with Mr. Melczer in 1990 I can say he truly opened my eyes to history, art and culture. I took copious notes, but I realized I could never fully "absorb" the knowledge that this man imparted to his students. He inspired me to enter the field I am in now. This ...

Indiana Jones meets Davinci Code
What a fun read! I sped through this book in a couple of days and enjoyed every minute of it. Our handsome archeologist possesses a bit more of a conscience than Indiana and our heroine is much more easy to take seriously and adore than any found in the Trilogy. Though this story is not as convoluted and intricate as the Davinci Code, it still provides a good amount of adventure and intrigue as ...

Captain's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 4)

Jim Butcher

Ace, 2008

Excellent
Captian's Fury is an excellent continuation of the very good series of books. A difficult book to put down once you start with enough twists to keep you guessing to the end yet not lose you along the way. Already anxious to get the next one.

Underwood Books, 1998

The Codex Derynianus is the Sine Qua Non of Deryni fandom.
The Codex Derynianus is an encyclopedic guide to the world of the Deryni and the XI Kingdoms, but it is far more than that. It is funny, informative, and gives Deryni fans important information about the Kingdom of Torenth and the Royal House of Furstan that has not been brought to light before. Ditto with Meara, the Forcinn states and the lands to the South and East of Gwynedd proper. I feel ...

The Andean Codex: Adventures and Initiations Among the Peruvian Shamans

Hampton Roads Publishing Company, 2005

Andean Wisdom
It's hard to come by real accounts of true teachings these days. There are so many charlatans begging to be known as sages. Then you come upon a book such as this one by Dr. James E. Williams. It transcends the volumes that try to get at experience without really experiencing it. Dr. Williams nearly died in the process of climbing in the Andes while writing his real life experience with a ...

The Leningrad Codex: A Facsimile Edition

Brill Academic Pub, 1998

Words of old...
The Leningrad Codex (so named because it was housed in a museum in Leningrad, when it was Leningrad) is the oldest complete codex of the Hebrew Bible -- a codex being a book form, as opposed to scrolls; the other existing ancient codex, the Aleppo Codex, has a few sections missing; it may be older, but the incomplete nature (especially as it is missing part of the Torah) make its use limited. ...

The Complete Works of Herman Melville (The Complete Works of Standard Authors series)

Francis A. Burkle-Young

E-Codex Publications, Division of Insight Engineering, 1994

CD-ROM with Works...not a Book...
This item is a CD-ROM disk which contains what is called the complete works of Herman Melville. They are NOT the Northwestern/Newberry editions of the works. They appear to be the Constable editions which were published in England in the 1920s; but as far as scholarly usefulness that should not pose a problem. The chapter numberings and basic layout of the works is going to be the same; if ...

Nahua Eamples.
This contains Nahuatl, some Spanish translations, and all translated to English. It is very useful for me as examples of the survivors of Toltec Moral behaviour.

Aegean Park Pr, 1992

Standard b&w edition of the Dresden Codex
Villacorta & Villacorta is the standard b&w reference on the Dresden codex, produced in 1930. Many, many papers and books use this edition because it reproduces well in b&w. What was red in the original is shown with outlines, what was black is shown solid. While many people work off 6th generation photocopies of this book, this edition is the only source I know of that is a clean first ...

Ave Maria Press, 2000

A wonderfully useful introductory guide.
Pastoral ministers are faced with questions and challenges every day and the answers aren't always easy to find. Canon law can provide the answers to some of the most complicated questions, but busy pastoral ministers are often too strapped for time for extensive original research. Kevin McKenna's A Concise Guide To Canon Law offers a clear, concise, easy-to-use reference guide to church law ...
