THE
APOCRYPHA
or Writings not found on
the common
and published Bible
Edited by ManuelKomroff
1936
New York: Tudor Publishing
Co., 1936. Very Good+ condition. The 14 books removed from the Bible in 1611
when the King James version was issued as authorized edition. Authorized by
whom? Apocrypha (from the Greek word
áπόκρυφα, meaning
"those having been hidden away". Some "authority" deemed their authorship
as questionable. Does this mean that in the authorized edition, where many of
the authors write about and describe their own deaths is beyond doubt?. In the
formulation of early church doctrines there was dissention, personal jealousy,
intolerance, persecution and bigotry.
The word "apocryphal" was first
applied, in a positive sense, to writings which were kept secret because they
were the vehicles of esoteric knowledge considered too profound or too sacred to
be disclosed to anyone other than the initiated. It is used in this sense to
describe A Holy and Secret Book of Moses, called Eighth, or Holy. Omissions also
applied to writings that were hidden not because of their divinity but because
of their questionable value to the church. In fact, hundreds of sacred texts
have been removed over millennia from both the old and new testaments. Mind
control has been an art long before George Orwell wrote 1984. Minimal wear, no
inscription or markings.
Book is tight, clean and solid.
6¼" x 9½" tall, 8vo. 348 pages.
