Man, The Grand Symbol of the Mysteries by Manly P. Hall

A unique assemblage of material gathered from dozens of sources written over the centuries, this volume of thought-provoking essays shows how the human body reveals the laws and principles operating throughout the universe.

Eighteen chapters are heavily illustrated with plates from rare and early works on Rosicrucianism, the Hermetic sciences, the Kabbalah, and more traditional texts on anatomy and physiology. With a comprehensive index.

Manly Palmer Hall (1901-1990), was a Canadian-born scholar and philosopher. He began his public career in the related fields of philosophy and comparative religion at the age of nineteen and devoted his life to teaching, writing, and lecturing without interruption for over half a century.

Hall travelled extensively in Europe, Asia, and Central America, and assembled a magnificent library. He gave nearly seven thousand different lectures and talks and appeared on numerous radio and television stations throughout the United States. He wrote over thirty-five books, scores of essays, and hundreds of articles.
