R1. Bennell, M, and Wyatt, I, An Introductory Commentary on The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, 1st ed, no date, c. 1950, 8v0, stapled wrappers, 72pp. V.good + £12 R2. Jennings, Hargrave, The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries, 1870, 4th ed. revised, n.d (c.1910), 8vo, modern black oversized paper wraps with hand written titles, t.e.g, 16 + 464pp, over 300 illustrations in text + 10 (of 12) plates at end. A mine of information on occult subjects, ranging from the sacred use of fire to stone monuments, and the Caballa and alchemy to Indian mythology. Jennings tended to see anything and everything as having Rosicrucian links. The text is therefore not solely about Rosicrucianism in the conventional sense, rather reflecting the author's interest in phallic religions, though does treat a number of Rosicrucian themes and includes material on Robert Fludd. Lacking the final leaf containing two plates, half title and end papers, title page soiled with a couple of marginal tears and tape repair (not affecting text). Some foxing/ soiling of text (but all readable). Some short tears to a couple of top margins, some soiling to margins of last few plate pages. A poor reading copy, but the text is complete. A cheap, early edition. £10
