"The first edition of this uncommon work by Arnoldo Krumm-Heller (it was later published in German and Spanish). The title translates similarly as "From Incense to Osmotherapies: History and Contributions to a Healing System by Means of Odoriferous Essences." Krumm-Heller was a charismatic figure, founder of the Fraternitas Rosicruciana Antiqua, who lived and travelled in Latin America and married local esoteric traditions with those of the West. He was also a student of Theodor Reuss, Papus, and Aleister Crowley. Scarce and rare work, much more so in the illustrative original wrappers." Tight, bright, and unmarred with some foxing, with a few short tears, and chips where they overlap the text book. Small tear to title-page, pages tanned. Small octavo. 148 + iipp. Original pictorial wrappers. Text in Portuguese. (Inventory #: 9668)
