(EUGENIUS PHILALETHES.} 



A VERBATIM REPRINT OF HIS FIRST FOUR TREATISES : 



ANTHROPOSOPHIA THEOMAGICA, ANIMA MAGICA

TRUE CCELUM TERR.E. 



WITH THE LATIN PASSAGES TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH, AND WITH A 



BIOGRAPHICAL PREFACE AND ESSAY ON THE ESOTERIC 



LITERATURE OF WESTERN CHRISTENDOM. 



BY ARTHUR EDWARD WAITE. 



" Some of Vaughan's reflections remind us of Jacob Boehm, but the Welsh 

 mystic is, as a rule, more easily followed than his German brother. Indeed, 

 with a few exceptions, the sense is clear enough to make the volume agree- 

 able reading even to the uninitiated. . . . The seventeenth century was 

 an age of plain speaking, and Vaughan, when differing from anyone, some- 

 times uses terms more forcible than elegant. Mr Waite supplies some 

 interesting information about the history of occultism in his * Introductory 

 Lecture on the Esoteric Literature of the Middle Ages, and on the Underlying 

 Principles of Theurgic Art and Practice in Western Christendom.'" Glas-

Life and Writings of Jacob 

 Behmen. 



BY DR FRANZ HARTMANN. 

 AUTHOR OF "LIFE AND WRITINGS OF PARACELSUS," ETC. 



Writing only a few months ago, Mr Arthur Lillie said: "It is a pity 

 Bohme's works are so scarce, for his philosophy, though clothed in somewhat 

 obscure language, is really fine. . Seen from the standpoint of Bohme, all the 

 mythologies of the past become part of a vast science. 



The publisher long ago sought to meet this want of a popular summary of 

 Bohme's philosophy, but it was difficult to find anyone competent to under- 

 take such a task. Dr Franz Hartmann however at length was persuaded to 

 furnish a work which should be a pendant to his admirably succinct account 

 of the teachings of Paracelsus.
