New on TUP Online

"The Secret Doctrine" by H. P. Blavatsky (1st installment)
"Studies in Occult Philosophy" by G. de Purucker

Theosophical University Press Online

(http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/) has uploaded the first
installment of its electronic edition of "The Secret Doctrine" --
Volume 1, Book 1 (vol. 1 to page 300). The other 5 books which
comprise the 2 volumes will be added as they are ready. This
full-text version is verbatim with the facsimile edition of 1888,
except for minor changes, such as those noted below, and the
correction of obvious typographical errors such as dropped
letters. In html, it retains page-breaks so that researchers can
find material referred to by page in other sources. Differences from
the print version include: removing all diacritical marks
(for ease in searching); using multiple asterisks instead of
daggers, etc., to mark footnotes; and transliterating Greek
characters into Latin italics (Hebrew characters appear as
pictures inserted in the text). Please send any comments or
suggestions about formatting, errors, or other technical matters
to theosnw@theosophy-nw.org.

Also recently added to the TUP Online site is G. de Purucker's
"Studies in Occult Philosophy," 760 print-pages of short
articles, answers to questions, and remarks at study-groups on
"The Secret Doctrine" and "The Mahatma Letters." Published
posthumously, it covers a very wide range of topics, from
technical theosophical teachings to human problems. It is
particularly useful in conjunction with the on-site search
engine.
