A leading German theosophical writer, Karl Kiesewetter (1854 95)
published several influential works in the years just before his
early death. They included a history of modern esotericism (1891),
a biography of Mesmer (1893, also reissued in this series), studies
of John Dee and of the Faust legend (both 1893), and this
two-volume account of occult beliefs and practices in the ancient
world (1895), which was completed by Ludwig Kuhlenbeck (1857 1920),
a scholar of ancient philosophy and law. Volume 1 focuses on the
civilisations of the ancient Near East, including Babylon, Persia,
Egypt and Israel, and also contains a chapter on South Asia. Each
general description is followed by more detailed investigations of
particular aspects of that community, such as individuals
(Zoroaster), practices (divination, healing and magic), teachings
and texts (the Kabbalah and the Bundehesh), together with textual
excerpts (in German translation).
