Overall Very Good with subscription crease to each booklet light wear to covers and occasional coffee stains and inscriptions; three rear pages detached. Three secret code practice sheets on scrap paper laid in. A nice collection of cult/kook publications. The Mayan Order was created by the married couple William and Isabelle Taylor who after moving to Hollywood transformed themselves into "Rose Dawn" the showgirl and "Koran" the conjurer. They moved to Del Rio in 1933 to perform as psychics on the new radio station founded by the famous quack Dr. John Brinkley who made his money by convincing men that they could improve their virility by allowing him to implant goat testes in their bodies. The powerful Radio XERA broadcast from just across the Mexican border to avoid American government regulation and it was a hit. Rose Dawn a Mae West lookalike became the "Star Girl of XERA" and raked in money selling astrological charts to her many listeners. Rose Dawn and Koran announced that Del Rio was the center of ancient Mayan culture and they bought a ranch nearby to create the headquarters of their new Mayan Order complete with alters. They delivered Mayan-flavored self-help lessons via correspondence beginning by teaching each student a special code for communication. In 1941 they moved the Order to San Antonio where it lasted long after Rose's death in 1957. Her signature continued to appear on documents -- perhaps her spectral fingers reached out from Xibalba to move the pen. The Mayan Press unknown

1840rif. 34888London: Orlando Hodgson 1840. A new edition with a memoir of the translator a long preliminary discourse on Islam and its history and with various readings and illustrative notes from Savary’s version of the Koran. 8vo contemporary three-quarter calf over marbled paper covered boards the spine in compartments decorated with central ornamental devices raised bands hatched in blind tan morocco lettering label gilt marbled endleaves. xvi 143 1-472 pp. including index. A very good copy handsome and well preserved the binding tight and strong internally quite fresh and clean. A HANDSOME EXPANDED EDITION OF ISLAM’S HOLIEST BOOK. Sale's version published initially in 1734 is the best early translation of the Islamic holy book and the first English translation taken directly from the original Arabic. The only translation published previously to Sale's was "the despicable French version" of André Du Ryer issued in 1649 and Alexander Ross’s English version derived from Du Ryer's published in the same year. Sale’s intent in translating the Q’uran was seemingly to educate English readers and perhaps those in power about Islam in an atmosphere of what he perceived to be ignorance and intolerance: “.it seems as if there was something more than what is vulgarly imagined in a religion which has made so surprising a progress.” He states “.as Mohammed gave his Arabs the best religion he could as well as the best laws preferable at least to those of the ancient pagan lawgivers I confess I cannot see why he deserves not equal respect though not with Moses or Jesus Christ whose laws came really from heaven yet with Minos or Numa notwithstanding the distinction of a learned writer who seems to think it a greater crime to make use of an imposture to set up a new religion founded on the acknowledgment of one true God and to destroy idolatry than to use the same means to gain reception to rules and regulations for the more orderly practice of heathenism already established.” He goes on to argue that “.if the religious and civil Institutions of foreign nations are worth our knowledge those of Mohammed the lawgiver of the Arabians and founder of an empire which in less than a century spread itself over a greater part of the world than the Romans were ever masters of must needs be so.” Sale’s translation and prefatory statements were a landmark step towards education and understanding about unfamiliar religious beliefs and cultures as opposed to fear and persecution of them. This edition has been expanded with notes based on French author Claude Etiénne Savary’s translation of the Q’uran. Orlando Hodgson hardcover
