Darshan Singh (19211989), also known as Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj, was the founder and head of Sawan Kirpal Ruhani Mission / Science of Spirituality from 1974 until his death in 1989. The spiritual successor of Kirpal Singh, Singh was also widely recognized as one of India's leading poet-saints, writing in the Urdu language. During his 15-year spiritual ministry, he founded Kirpal Ashram in Delhi, and established over 550 meditation centers in forty countries. He presided over the Sixth Conference of the World Fellowship of Religions (1981), the Asian Conference of Religions and Peace (1981), and the Fifteenth International Human Unity Conference, held in Delhi, India., in 1988. On July 27, 1980, he instituted "Master's Day" to be celebrated on the fourth Sunday of July each year, in which people can sit together to honor the saints and spiritual Masters of their traditions. In addition, he was acclaimed as one of India's greatest poet-saints. His collections of poems, won him four Academy Awards for poetry. His Urdu Pharsi poems are published in five collections viz. Talash-e-Noor, Manzil-e-Noor, Mata-e-Noor, Jada-e-Noor and Mauj-e-Noor. He was awarded by Urdu Academy, Delhi and Urdu Academy, Uttar Pradesh for his books Manzil-e-Noor and Mata-e-Noor. An English translation from Urdu of selected poems from Darshan Singh's magnum opus, Mataa'-e Noor. Winner of prestigious literary awards in India, this fine contemporary mystical poetry also serves as a basis for instruction in the Sant Mat spiritual tradition in India and throughout the world. Hundreds of verses celebrate the torments and ecstasies that the lover of God suffers at the hands of the Divine. Also included are an introduction to the poet's life and an overview of the author's mystical foundations. Love's Last Madness, a translation of 88 poems in the Sufi tradition selected from Darshan Singh's magnum opus Mat '-e N r (Treasure House of Light), sings of the torments and ecstasies the lover of God experiences on the journey to divine realization. Remarkable for masterfully fulfilling his worldly responsibilities while immersing himself in his mystic quest, Darshan Singh (19211989) was a renowned spiritual teacher with tens of thousands of students around the globe. Four-time winner of a prestigious Urdu academy award for poetry in India, he has been acclaimed by critics as one of the greatest mystical poets in the Urdu language. Sant Darshan Singh represents the best in the historic interaction of mysticism with Indo-Persian aesthetics. In the tradition of the greatest Sufi masters and poets, his passionate love takes him to the realm where the divine reality is no longer a distant transcendence. Those who love Rumi and Hafiz will love Darshan Singh, whose sublime spirit shines through these faithful yet poetic translations. Mumtaz Ahmad, late Executive Director of the Iqbal International Institute for Research and Dialogue, Islamabad, and Professor of Political Science, Hampton University. Metaphors convey the vision of the spiritual life in flashes that can be immediately apprehended. This is just what poetry is, and Sant Darshan Singh is a master of that. Translators Lerner and Bedi, through lively, natural expressions and a simple, polished style, have achieved an admirable closeness to the original Urdu verses. Shaligram Shukla, late Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, Georgetown University. These poems are quite literally inspiriting. Precise and surprising metaphors refresh the reader on every page. Any reader who delights in poetry will be delighted by Darshan Singh. The translators' introduction, commentaries, and notes are an education in themselves. John Michael, Professor of English and Visual and Cultural Studies, University of Rochester. Darshan Singh conveys the nuances of divine romance with such variety, command and sensitivity that it is apparent his poetic muse springs from direct mystical experience, not mere literary imagination. His artistic genius enables him, like Rumi of old, to impart the timeless, haunting fragrance of the inner spiritual realms while retaining its heart-warming humanity and contemporary relevance. Eliot Jay Rosen, author of the Los Angeles Times best-selling book Experiencing the Soul Before Birth, During Life, After Death and coauthor of The Compassionate Diet.

'Henri Estienne's monumental edition of Plato, the first complete edition, which for two centuries remained the indispensable instrument of Platonic studies; to this day its pagination is universally accepted as the standard system of reference to the text of Plato' (Schreiber). The 'Stephanus' reference to chapters and paragraphs, still used in scholarship today, refers to the arrangement devised by Henri Estienne for this edition. This landmark edition of Plato's collected works ranks among the most remarkable and influential achievements of the eminent scholar-printer Henri EstienneII. He established the Greek text through meticulous comparison of the 1513 Aldine edition, the Basel printings of 1534 and 1566, and the 1531 Louvain edition of the Laws, supplementing these with manuscript sources. Maintaining his exacting scholarly principles, Estienne emended corrupt passages through conjecture, but printed the latter in the margins, clearly setting them apart from the text proper; he also rejected Ficino's Latin translation and arranged for a fresh one by Jean de Serres, which he carefully revised. Serres, a committed Protestant, prefaced the three volumes with individual dedicatory letters addressed to ElizabethI of England, JamesVI of Scotland, and the Canton of Berne. 'Of all Estienne's publications the Plato is perhaps the most lavishly decorated: besides numerous woodcut initials, culs-de-lampe, and a striking, elaborate title-device, it is the only publication in which Estienne used his entire series of decorative headpieces. Although this sumptuous Plato further contributed to Estienne's financial ruin, it is also (after the Thesaurus) the work which most contributed to his fame' (Schreiber). Both Renouard and Brunet note that copies in good condition are rare, while Dibdin writes: 'This work has long been considered as a very valuable acquisition to the libraries of the learned, and for its magnificence and variety of critical material must be always held in estimation'.

18th century vellum over boards, spine with six (6) almost flat bands; gilt lettered title on morocco label on two; all edges speckled rose., Euclid or Euclid of Alexandria (~ 300 B.C.), "was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the 'founder of geometry' or the 'father of geometry'. He was active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323?283 BC). His Elements is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics, serving as the main textbook for teaching mathematics (especially geometry) from the time of its publication until the late 19th or early 20th century. In the Elements, Euclid deduced the theorems of what is now called Euclidean geometry from a small set of axioms. Euclid also wrote works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, number theory, and mathematical rigour.? The Italian Federico Commandino (1509?1575) "studied at Padua and at Ferrara, where he received his doctorate in medicine. He was most famous for his central role as translator of works of ancient mathematicians. In this, his sources were primarily written in Greek and secondarily in Arabic, while his translations were primarily in Latin and secondarily in Italian. He was responsible for the publication of many treatises of Archimedes. He also translated the works of Aristarchus of Samos (On the sizes and distances of the Sun and the Moon), Pappus of Alexandria (Mathematical collection), Hero of Alexandria (Pneumatics), Ptolemy of Alexandria (Planisphere and Analemma), Apollonius of Perga (Conics) and Euclid of Alexandria (Elements). Among his pupils was Guidobaldo del Monte and Bernardino Baldi. Commandino maintained a correspondence with the astronomer Francesco Maurolico. The proposition known as Commandino's theorem first appears in his work on centers of gravity." The present work is the first edition of the Italian translation by Commandino; it is one among only few works printed in Urbino during the 16th century. , Size : Folio (303x212mm). , Illustrated printed title with woodcut device; large historiated woodcut initials at openings of chapters/ book with depictions of engagement in mathematical studies; moreover, numerous in-text woodcuts throughout the work depicting mathematical figures, concepts, and number lines.Text in Italian; panelled.Roman and Italic script.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 265 x 218 mm. [1], 185 pp., [12] illustrations. Dr. Marcus Lehmann (Meir)) was born in Verden, Germany, and studied with R. Israel Hildesheimer in Halberstadt, with R. S. L. Rapoport in Prague, and at Halle. In Prague he was friendly with the writer Solomon Kohn, who may have influenced R. Lehmann's future work as a writer. In 1853 an organ was introduced in the synagogue of Mainz and in 1854, when the Orthodox members formed a separate congregation, R. Lehmann was elected their rabbi and, eventually, one of the leaders and spokesmen of modern German Orthodoxy. In Mainz he founded a religious school which from 1859 was an elementary day school for boys and girls. R. Lehmann wrote polemically against Reform and founded the weekly Israelit (1860-1938) to counter the influence of Ludwig Philippson's Reform periodical, Allgemeine Zeitung des Judentums; the Israelit became the principal voice of German Orthodoxy. R. Lehmann was the main contributor to the Israelit and his many historical novels, including Rabbi Joselmann von Rosheim (translated into English as Tales of Yore, 1947), and short stories were first published in it. His stories were collected in Aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart (6 vols., 1872-88), and many were translated or adapted into Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, French, Hungarian, English, and other languages. R. Lehmann's stories have great religious and educational value. Of more scholarly importance, though also primarily intended for popular instruction, are his German edition of the Haggadah (1906, 1914, 1926), anonymously revised and enlarged by H. Ehrmann and translated into English (1969), and his Sabbath lectures on Avot, collected as Die Sprueche der Vaeter (in installments, in: Israelit, 1895-1905; 3 vols., 1921/23) in which R. Lehmann made use of earlier commentators, particularly of R. Samuel b. Isaac's Midrash Shemu'el, and thus made the commentators accessible to the German reader. R. Lehmann also published the tractate Berakhot of the Jerusalem Talmud with the commentary of Solomon Sirillo and his own notes, Meir Nativ (1874). R. Lehmann translated the Pentateuch in the Bible translation initiated by the Orthodox Bible Institute to counter the translation of Zunz and others. As editor of the Israelit, R. Lehmann inclined increasingly to R. S. R. Hirsch's intransigent line in R. Hirsch's differences with R. Hildesheimer, R. Lehmann's friend and teacher.
