The Essene Code of Life

The Essene Code of Life as followed by the brotherhoods at the Dead Sea and Lake Mareotis from the original Aramaic and French translation compared, translated and edited by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely.

A complete translation, from the Aramaic, of the manuscript discovered by Count Volney during his travels in Egypt and Syria, 1783-5; giving a record of the discourses between the famous Roman Historian, Josephus Flavius, as pupil, and Banus, the Essene, as master, during Josephus' three years' sojourn with Banus in the Desert of the Dead Sea, for his initiation into the Essene Teaching and Traditions.

An old copy with foxing, very good condition for its age. Scarce in Australia.
