by Robert Ayshford

A major find! This is the first and only publication of a rare work of English mysticism and spiritual direction, transcribed and edited from a hitherto unknown manuscript. The Dawn of Wisdom, also known as Aurora Sapientiae, represents the earliest known work of Christian theosophic mysticism in Britain, long predating the circle around Dr. John Pordage in the 1650s. Dated 1629, The Dawn of Wisdom and Letters of Spiritual Direction reveals the presence of a vital theosophic circle in England much earlier than previously thought. This book includes a lengthy introduction by Arthur Versluis, discussing English and European religious radicalism. This is a rare and important work for all who are interested in esoteric cosmology and secret dimensions of Christian spirituality.
