the tarot and the hermetic tradition,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Arcana of the Grail Angel (Paperback)
This is an important work of Medieval History, focusing on the transmission of Christian Hermetic and Neoplatonic philosophy from its roots in the Alexandrian academy and the school of St. Denis, through the golden age of Arabism until its flowering in the Age of the Troubadours as the Grail Legend.Using an unique structure, the Trionfi of the Florentine Tarrocci, as a framework, the author traces the diffusion and survival of Christian Neoplatonism in Europe during the period of Papal dominance over Western thought, a period when its proponents and practioners wrote of necessity in a veiled, "twilight" language of symbol. There is much here of medieval Occult Philosophy, as brought to light and revivified by the work of the late Dr. Rudolph Steiner, upon whose philosophical system, Anthroposophy, or Spiritual Science, the author greatly depends. A series of useful diagrams at the end of the book prove a valuable digest of the teachings in question. |
