Beschreibung

2013 Reprint of 1949 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Early modern history comes alive in this fascinating account of the history of secret doctrines in Europe from antiquity to the end of the Age of Chivalry. The account begins with Manes, whose philosophy has survived into modern times as the impelling force behind Christian Mysticism. The glory of the Guilds unfolds the traditions of the first organization to put into solemn practice the concept of the brotherhood of man. The troubadour, minnesinger, and meistersinger are considered, as well as the troubled story of the Knights Templar of Jerusalem. Taliesin, the Adept of Britain, finds his proper place in the descent of the wisdom of the Druids and the secret assemblies of Wales. Through Merlin, the magician, the reader meets King Arthur and there is an interpretation of the Round Table legendary. The wonderful stories of the Holy Grail, the Grail Kings, Parsifal, and Lohengrin are discussed, as well as early Christian contacts with China and other Eastern lands. The account ends with the search for the mysterious temple of Shamballah, said to stand on the Imperishable Island in the midst of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.

Über den Autor

Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) was a Canadian-born writer and lecturer whose work focused on comparative religion, philosophy, and esoteric traditions. Over the course of his career, he produced numerous lectures and publications examining symbolic systems and their historical [...] Secret Teachings of All Ages, first published in 1928, remains his most widely recognized work. Conceived as a comprehensive study of symbolic philosophy, it brings together material from a broad range of traditions and presents them within a unified interpretive framework. Hall's work continues to be studied for its scope and its role in synthesizing diverse esoteric traditions.
