Scarce de luxe edition of Pike's esoteric teachings from the Rig-Veda, printed from the original manuscript held by the Supreme Council. This was also issued in a numbered edition of 800, but the edition of 50 was generally presented to high-degree governing bodies, as here. Incredibly scarce, and an important masonic text. Item #9532
