All of the Regardie "big book" material is full of unmarked Regardie edits. It will transition from GD material to Regardie's with no warning except for change in authorial tone.<br /><br />I'd like to see transcripts of actual texts published without editing. That's what scholars actually do. When I did my MA thesis on GD material, I had to use Ransom Institute material because none of the published texts met the bar to be used for academic work.<br /><br />That said, I'm planning to publish transcripts of Allan Bennet's notebooks (as copied by J.F.C. Fuller) from the Ransom Institute archives. This is one of my projects for the next year and gives a snapshot of early 1890's era Golden Dawn material as recorded by one of the early adepts.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561666880371974930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-13901988483065460202010-10-31T17:30:22.223-06:002010-10-31T17:30:22.223-06:00Who cares?
