About this Item

THE TRUE AND INVISIBLE ROSICRUCIAN ORDER - An Interpretation of the Rosicrucian Allegory, and an Explanation of the Ten Rosicrucian Grades. By PAUL CASE. SIGNED and HAND NUMBERED by PAUL CASE on the front pastedown: "No. 152 / Paul Case". Self published, second edition, 1928. Paul Case self published the first edition in 1927, limited to only 64 copies; it was NOT a signed edition. He then revised and enlarged his work and self published a second edition a year later in 1928. The second edition is a signed, numbered and limited edition. The exact limitation of the second edition is not stated, but certainly quite small. The 1927 first (unsigned) and 1928 second (signed and numbered) editions of "The True and Invisible Rosicrucian Order" are the only editions that were self published by the author. Both are scarce. Hardcovers, black cloth covered boards with red titling on the front cover and spine, ii + 101 pages, pages printed on one side only, mimeographed from an original typed copy, self published. Illustrated with a plate showing the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, and one other plate; there are also a few small drawings within the text. Laid-in the book are a group of Paul Case related materials, lecture announcements, remarks on the Tarot, a card about B.O.T.A., etc. Some of the items are covered with relevant handwritten notes by a previous owner, perhaps taken during a Paul Case lecture. There are also 8 typed pages on the Sepher Yetzirah, with hand corrections to mistyped words. Likely a typed copy made by the previous owner from a printed translation. An interesting grouping of ephemera from a dedicated occultist. Condition: The covers' spine folds are scraped and have some tearing to the cloth, the boards have some water drop stains and finger marks, and the edges have a few scrapes, otherwise the covers are solid and doing their job well. Internally, the endpapers have light offsetting / toning, otherwise the pages are tight, bright, clean, clear and unmarked. The various ephemera is well used, heavily marked condition; but still cool! RARE Early Source Material on Rosicrucion Occultism, SIGNED by THE PRIMARY SOURCE, PAUL CASE.
