Maaz, Hans-Joachim ‘Der Lilith Komplex: die dunklen Seiten der Mütterlichkeit’ 5. Auflage – Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag Gm bH & Co. KG, München, 2008
[1] A series of publications founded by the late Dom Eligius Dekkers and edited by a team of ten scholars at the time of this printing
[2] A collection of 37 papers by different scholars, including Jean-Pierre Mahé, Paolo Lucentini, Charles Burnett, Paul Kunitzsch, Sophie Page and Nicolas Weill-Parot, together with two bibliographical appendices
[3] The author’s dates are given as 1903-1968. Thus he was 13 years deceased by the time of the printing of this information edition of his work in 1981. Lucht is said by Jung to have further developed the ideas of Karl-Ersnst Krafft on “Typokosmie” during his lifetime
[4] The date of publication as shown in the covering letter introducing the main text. Jung’s edition itself, however, is dated Sommer 1970, and comes with its own earlier introductory letter bearing that date. For some reason he would appear to have issued it more widely eleven years later
[5] The first volume in a two-volume set, said to have been “expanded” by the Fondazine Lorenzo Valle from the original English-language Johns Hopkins edition of 1985, q. v. below. It is really a vastly more ambitious production than the original edition, in that it features the original Latin and Greek source texts with facing Italian translations; and the combined page count of approx. 1050 pages reflects this.
[6] The date of the original (I) edition thus is given as 1997.
[7] The section within this volume that is entitled “Astrologia” comprises pp. [137]-243, and features extensive excerpts from Manilius together with briefer ones from Seneca, Ptolemy, Vettius Valens and Plotinus, and one referred to as “Papiro Tebtunis”.
[8] Described here as “professor of classics at the Johns Hopkins University”
[8a] The texts in this volume are typically selected fragments of much longer works, and are presented in English only. They are grouped by subject thus: Magic; Miracles; Daemonology; Divination; Astrology; Alchemy. In all, 122 numbered fragments are featured. The Astrology section spans pp. 309-358 (not counting its title page). The sources appear comparable to those in the Italian edition, as described a couple of footnotes above
[9] An anti-astrological pamphlet by the second wife of a notorious nationalist German general, Erich Ludendorff (1865-1937). The contents are thought to include racist sentiments and should be approached with extreme caution
[9a] A series of publications edited at this time by David Frankfurter, Johannes Hahn, Frits G. Naerebout and Miguel John Versluys
[9b] A collection of 14 essays by 13 different scholars including the editors on a fairly wide range of ancient divinatory practices, including lot divination, bibliomancy and oracles
[9c] The professional name of an unidentified male astrologer
[9d] No copyright date is given. A print-on-demand publication, this copy purchased new in 2021
[10] The date of the original edition is given as 1942
[11] Professor of the History of Christianity at the University of Udine, Italy
[12] A series of publications edited by the present author
[13] A translation from the Italian original “I Mandei. Gli ultimi gnostici”, published by Paideia Editrice, 1993
[14] A print-on-demand facsimile-based reprint, issued March 2009, of the original dissertation
[15] I have not yet been able to paginate this because it remains shrink-wrapped within temporary card end-supports awaiting binding
[15a] The main part of this volume (pp. [1]-158) is a critical edition of Johannes Lydus’ ‘On Signs’, presented in the original ancient Greek with footnotes in Latin. It is followed by a small collection of four ancient texts and extracts on comets by different writers (two in Greek, two in Latin) (pp. [159]-166), another short text (‘De Terrae Motibus’) (pp. 167-170), some brief texts on ancient Greek calendars (pp. 171-187), Ptolemy’s treatise on the appearance of the fixed stars (pp. [189]-260), and four other short texts, three of which are related to calendars (pp. 261-275)
[16] Library records give 1935
[16a] After original printing of 1959 and second impression of Spring, 1963
[17] After the first edition of March 20th, 1981
[18] Dedicated to the memory of Rudolf Steiner, who passed away in 1925, and whose works are said to have been a source of deep revelations to the author. The frontis. is a fine large illustration of Steiner
