From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author R. Kilpatrick to W. Haase. - 1st page a bit stained, else clean. - From the text: In 1981 Peter Meller referred to the many contradictory interpretations of Giorgione's painting "The Three Philosophers" (figure 1) , as a "vicious circle." Only three years previously, Salvatore Settis had surveyed the critical history of the painting in La "Tempesta" Interpreta-ta (1978), to reargue the case made two centuries earlier in 1783 that its three figures portrayed there were the "Three Magi." Meller reexamined its iconography from the clues offered by Marcantonio Michiel in his celebrated note of 1525 written after seeing it in the house of Taddeo Contarini in Venice: namely, "three philosophers . marvelously imitated rock . rays of the sun . landscape," and concluded that we are looking at Plato as metaphysician standing with two pupils before his own metaphorical cave. If the images of bare and leafed trees, ivy and fig, dark and light, represent original sin and resurrection, then we might have "un típico paesaggio moralizzato" in which the Platonic parable prefigures Christianity.

xx, 21-317pp., Gr.-8°, gilt stamped cloth What was high degree Masonry like before the Scottish Rite? For the first time ever, the actual rituals of the 'parent' of the Scottish Rite are available for study from a rare manuscript! Created by Stephen Morin in the 1760's, this 25-degree system used many of the most popular and important degrees of the time. By 1764 the high degrees were established in New Orleans, and in 1767 Henry Andrew Francken brought the system to Albany, New York. It was finally absorbed into the Scottish Rite in 1801. This extremely interesting work includes the full and complete rituals of the system, from 4° Secret Master, to 25° Prince of the Royal Secret. Also included are the 'detached degrees' of Select Master of 27, Knight of the Royal Arch, and Grand Master Ecose, which appeared at the back of the manuscript. Includes several facsimiles from the original manuscript. - A mint copy.
