description: On Demand reprint of Fundgruben Des Orients Volume VI (Wein 1818). Contains the astonishing essay ''Mysterium Baphometis Revelatum'' by Joseph Von Hammer-Purgstall noted 19th Century Antiquarian and Historian. This essay analyzes and discusses a number of historic objects in private and royal collections -- bowls goblets seals etc. that the author determines of Templar origin that in his opinion clearly show roots in Ancient Gnostic Philosophies such as the Manicheans and Ophites.This is a less than pristine photo-reproduction of this critically important historical essay but it's the only one available: virtually unknown today but one of the primary sources for Eliphas Levi in Transcendental Magic. Written in German Latin Greek and Arabic Mysterium Baphometis Revelatum is particularly tricky to translate due to the author's transposition of Greek to Arabic and vice-versa. No completed translation to English has been published a French translation was published recently in deluxe paperback.
