Riguardo questo articolo

Wortmann - whose 'Das Gesetz Des Kosmos' (1965) is considered a cosmological masterpiece - corresponded with Hermann Hesse, and was the only modern author to be described by him as a master of the Glass Bead Game. The Sacred Science Institute in America is presently working with Wortmann's family to bring out an edition of his work. The collection is discoloured with age and some leaves are slightly dog-eared, but the whole is in good condition. 'Der Pyramidenbauer' is nineteen A4 pages long, on nineteen leaves, with staple marks and discolouration from paper clips, with a few manuscript corrections, and is written in the form of a short story. The lecture, thirteen A4 pages long, on seven leaves, is more heavily corrected. The intricate diagrams, expounding sacred geometry, most in black and white but with two coloured-in duplicates, would seem to accompany the lecture, and carry 'Tafel' numbers between 3 and 94. The Tafel nos are as follows: 3, 8, 9, 18-20, 24, 27-32, 34, 35, 38-44, 46, 48-51, 54-57, 59, 62, 64, 67-72, 75-78, 82, 83, 85-90, 92-94. On the reverse of most of these plates, in pencil, are the word "Slide"with a number 1-64. These numbers are in sequence (indicating a selection for a speicfic purpose - at least a slide show <lecture) only Slide nos. 2 and 49 missing. Some plates have more than one slide number listed on their reverse (e.g. one has Slides 37-39 inc.). 'Der Kanon des Kosmos' is six A4 pages of photocopies. The manuscript notes are two A4 pages. The envelope is addressed to 'Impress - Werbung | 7750 Konstanz | Bruderturmgasse 4'.
