Summary
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky: The Theosophical Dictionary
The Theosophical Dictionary has the disadvantage of being almost entirely a posthumous work, since the author saw only a draft of the first thirty-two pages. This fact is all the more regrettable if we bear in mind that H.P.B. intended to supplement her original manuscript with considerable material, which would undoubtedly increase the volume of this edition and illuminate many more obscure terms that are not included in the present Dictionary, and, what is more important, give us an insight into the life sketches of many adepts from the East and West.
The Theosophical Dictionary aims to guide us to the essential meaning of terms from Sanskrit, Middle Persian (Pahlavi), Tibet, Pali, Chaldea (Chaldeans), Persia, Scandinavia, and Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Kabbalistic and Gnostic traditions, then occult terms used in Theosophical literature and happiness in Isis Unveiled, Esoteric Buddhism, Secret Doctrine, Keys of Theosophy, etc.; as well as monthlies such as Theosophist, Lucifer and Put, etc., and other publications of the Theosophical Society.
