The Ritman' Library's 2-Volume Sampler of Early Esoteric Printed Books (1455 to 1500)

My review of "Christ, Plato, Hermes Trismegistus, the Dawn of Printing" by Margaret Lane Ford published by In De Pelicaan.
This is a gorgeous catalogue (1 double page per item) of the esoterically themed incunabulae (books printed during the infancy of the printing press) acquired by the Ritman Library (Embassy of the Free Mind) by 1990, when they were still known as the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica.

It is such a beautiful pair of books. The more you become fascinated with books, the harder it is to resist also becoming genuinely interested in the history of books and old book design. Thanks to your review of "From Poimandres...", I bought both the latter and the former from Embassy of the Free Mind. O man, I would love to smell the skin the books found within these pages...

"This guy is way too much into his hobby" I think to myself while watching your video and carving a cut of Japanese Maple into a bowl, checking to make sure the grain is just right to ensure it's both watertight and the spiral is pronounced.

Interesting username choice, I’m trying to figure out what it means. But on another note, what would you say you have gained from studying the esoteric realm compared to the common books?
