Theos-Talk Archives (May 2006 Message tt00624)

Daniel,

OK. Thanks.

Adyar TS, Boris de Zirkoff, and most theosophists agree: Besant's third volume is, as a whole,  not legitimate and therefore Adyar abandoned it, adopting Zirkoff's edition. 

Boris published texts which ALSO were in the Besant's 3rd volume. But he got to their originals, probably.  He did not depend on Besant's edition. He had access to Adyar's Archives. He did not have tocopy from Besant's false edition. 

I hope this is clear now. 

Regards, Carlos.
