Beschreibung
18,4 x 11,5 cm. XL,202, [2 blank] pp. With folding lithographed frontispiece and 9 (folding) plates with 16 numbered illustrations. Contemporary cloth-backed boards. Untrimmed. ¶ Library ticket on spine, paste-down with masonic bookplate of the "Loge De Friesche Trouw". Binding worn, first quire slightly soiled, otherwise in good condition. ¶ An intriguing esoteric work, proposing a utopian, harmonious society, ambitiously combining astrology, Christianity, mythology and sociology. ¶ Divided into three parts and written in the form of questions and answers, it opens with a 40-page foreword by Swiss lawyer Henri Disdier (1816-1864). The first two parts are devoted to the interpretation of religious doctrines, in which Vaillant seeks to show that many Christian doctrines actually have a much older origine and have been interpreted wrongly. ¶ The third and final part is perhaps the most ambitious: this includes the author s vision of a future utopia, a socionomie . This socionomie is based on the Christian virtues faith, hope and love. The author strives for synarchie (the antonym of anarchy), which will result in human happiness, a harmony between earth and heaven, a fusion of human intelligence and divine spiritual light. ¶ Jean Alexandre Vaillant (1804 1886) was an active Freemason, author, linguist and translator. Following an invitation by a high-ranking boyar in 1829 he worked as a French tutor in Bucharest. He modernized the Saint Sava School and supported the Wallachian Revolution of 1848. Vaillant authored several books relating to Wallachian language and culture, including Grammaire valaque à l'usage des Français (1836) and La Roumanie (1844). ¶ Caillet 10957 ("Ouvrage à peu près inconnu"); Bibliotheca Esoterica 5016 ("Ouvrage excessivement rare").
