LEO TAXIL, [Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès], (1854-1907).
[FIRST APPEARENCE in GREEK of TAXIL'S FAMOUS WORK on FREEMASONRY] Ta mysteria ton phrammasonon. Metaphrasis Vevelou.
Very Good Greek, Modern (post 1453) Contemporary fine leather bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In Greek. 1118 p., richly illustrated (b/w ills.). Period bindery label of E. Watson in London. Ex-library copy on fourth blank page. Otherwise a very good copy. First and extremely rare translation into Greek of Taxil's 'Myste`res de la Franc-Mac?onnerie'. Mysteries of Freemasonry. Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès, better known by the pen name Léo Taxil was a French writer and journalist who became known for his strong anti-Catholic and anti-clerical views. He is also known for the Taxil hoax, a spurious expose of Freemasonry and the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to it. Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès was born in Marseille, and at the age of five, he was placed into a Jesuit seminary. After spending his childhood years in the seminary, he became disillusioned with the Catholic faith and began to see the religious ideology as socially harmful. Taxil first became known for writing anti-Clerical or anti-Catholic books, notably "La Bible amusante" (The Amusing Bible) and "La Vie de Jesus" (The Life of Jesus), in which Taxil satirically pointed out inconsistencies, errors, and false beliefs presented in these religious works. In his other books Les Debauches d'un confesseur (with Karl Milo), Les Pornographes sacrés: la confession et les confesseurs, and Les Maîtresses du Pape, Taxil portrays leaders of the Catholic Church as hedonistic creatures exploring their fetishes in the manner of the Marquis de Sade. In 1879, he was tried at the Seine Assizes for writing a pamphlet A Bas la Calotte ("Down with the Cloth"), which was accused of insulting a religion recognized by the state, but he was acquitted. In 1885, he professed conversion to Catholicism, was solemnly received into the church, and renounced his earlier works. In the 1890s, he wrote a series of pamphlets and books denouncing Freemasonry, charging their lodges with worshiping the devil and alleging that Diana Vaughan had written for him her confessions of the Satanic "Palladist" cult. The book had great sales among Catholics, although Diana Vaughan never appeared in public. In 1892, Taxil also began to publish a paper, La France chrétienne anti-maçonnique (Christian Antimasonic France), with his staunch anti-Masonic publishing friend, Abel Clarin de la Rive. In 1887, he had an audience with Pope Leo XIII, who rebuked the bishop of Charleston for denouncing the anti-Masonic confessions as a fraud and, in 1896, sent his blessing to an anti-Masonic Congress of Trent. Doubts about Vaughan's veracity and even her existence began to grow, and finally, Taxil promised to produce her at a lecture to be delivered by him on 19 April 1897. To the amazement of the audience (which included a number of priests), he announced that Diana was one of a series of hoaxes. He had begun, he said, by persuading the commandant of Marseille that the harbor was infested with sharks, and a ship was sent to destroy them. Next, he invented an underwater city in Lake Geneva, drawing tourists and archaeologists to the spot. He thanked the bishops and Catholic newspapers for facilitating his crowning hoax, namely his conversion, which had exposed the anti-Masonic fanaticism of many Catholics. Diana Vaughan was revealed to be a simple typist in his employ, who laughingly allowed her name to be used by him.The audience received these revelations with indignation and contempt. Afterwards, Taxil left the hall, where policemen escorted him to a neighboring café. He then moved away from Paris. He died in Sceaux in 1907. First Greek Edition. Rare. Only one copy in OCLC: 758917323.

FRIEDRICH WILHELM RADLOFF, (1837-1918).
[SIBERIA / RUSSIA] Sibirya'dan. [i.e. Aus Siberien = From Siberia]. Translated by Ahmet Temir.
Very Good Turkish Original wrappers. Light stains on the covers. Overall a very good copy. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In Turkish. 4 volumes set: (631 p.; 299 p.; 555 p.), with a folded huge map in the end-pocket of the fourth and the last volume. Rare first Turkish Edition of Radloff's 'Aus Sibirien' [i.e. From Siberia], offering the first precise, systematic treatment of Central Asiatic ethnography and significant scientific study of the Turkic peoples. Radlov engaged in Oriental studies at the University of Berlin during the 1850s, and after completing his education he taught in a secondary school at Barnaul in southwestern Siberia. During that period he had close contact with the Turkic people of the Sayan and Altai mountains and began his ethnographic, textual, and linguistic studies. Following his return to St. Petersburg, Radlov published a general ethnography of northern and Central Asia, Aus Sibirien (1884), which advanced a three-stage theory of cultural evolution for the region-hunting to pastoral to agricultural-with shamanism as the main religion. Radloff was a Russian - German scholar and orientalist, he is also known by his Russian name Vasilij Vasilievich Radlov. From 1850-70, Radloff traveled to Siberia, Altai, and Turkestan where he conducted studies in local languages, anthropology, and archaeology. Organizing the Russian Committee for the Study of Central and East Asia, Radoff was very active in raising the level of Central Asian and Turkic studies in Russia. In 1918, he organized a team to travel to Turfan. He became a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1884. Only two complete sets in OCLC: 976749562. Not in the US libraries.
