Theos-Talk Archives (September 1998 Message tt00204)

Sept 14th 1998

Dear Daniel:

I just posted an answer to a query you made of me concerning an
experiment to be made in determining the source of some of the
articles included in the  S D taking the Wurzburg MSS sent to
Adyar into account.

I prefer a facsimile edition - no question of authenticity.
Comments and changes can be put in an ADDENDUM for students to
consult.

Verbatim editions are acceptable, if truly and accurately
VERBATIM - no changes or emendations or interpolations.  Any such
can be handled through an ADDENDUM.

Best wishes,		Dallas

SUBJECT:  Facsimile editions of Blavatsky's Writings

ATTENTION:  Dallas TenBroeck, Paul Bazzer, and Tony Maddock

I believe each of you has stated recently that you
use/prefer/recommend
photographic facsimile editions of H P Blavatsky's original
writings
rather than later *edited* editions.  Is this true?

Furthermore, would you also accept verbatim reproductions if
facsimile
editions are not available?

And last but not least, what current editions of Blavatsky's
books and
writings do you recommend?  For each of the following titles,
what
edition/reprint (*now in print*) do you use/prefer/recommend?

(1)  The Secret Doctrine

(2)  Isis Unveiled

(3)  Key to Theosophy

(4)  Voice of the Silence

(5)  Theosophical Glossary

(6)  compilations of HPB's articles
