'''Strabo'''. Celebrated Greek geographer born at Amasea in Pontus, ca. 54 В. C. Studied at Nyssa under Aristodemus, at Amisus under Tyrannion, and at Seleucia under Xenarchus. Proceeded then to Alexandrea where he attached himself first to the peripatetic Boethus of Sidon, then to Athenodorus of Tarsus. Visited various parts of Asia Minor, Syria, Phoenicia and Egypt, as far as Syene and the Cataracts of the Nile. On intimate terms with Aelius Gallus, Roman Governor of Egypt. Later travelled in Greece, Macedonia and Italy. At an advanced age, compiled his Geography, in 17 books, which has come down practically complete. It bears evidence of a philosophical and reflective mind, disciplined by science. Strabo’s celebrity, however, seems to date only from the Middle Ages.

NOTE ON THE TRANSLITERATION OF SANSKRIT

The system of diacritical marks used in the Bibliographies and the Index (with square brackets), as well as in the English translations of original French and Russian texts, does not strictly follow any one specific scholar, to the exclusion of all others. While adhering to a very large extent to Sir Monier-Williams’ Sanskrit-English Dictionary, as for instance in the case of the Anusvâra, the transliteration adopted includes forms introduced by other Sanskrit scholars as well, being therefore of a selective nature.

It should also be noted that the diacritical mark for a long “a” was in the early days a circumflex, and therefore all of H.P.B.’s writings embody this sound in the form of “â.” No change has been made from this earlier notation to its more modern form of the “macron,” or line over the “a.” Such a change would have necessitated too many alterations, and almost certainly would have produced confusion; therefore the older usage has been adhered to throughout.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ORIENTAL WORKS

Certain Serial Publications of Oriental Writings are indicated by italicized capital letters following the editions. Many of the works referred to may be consulted for a short time by means of Inter-Library Loans.

Khunrath, Henry (also Klinrath). German alchemist and hierophant of the “Magnum Opus,” b. at Leipzig, ca. 1560. Graduated at Medical Univ, of Basel, and practised in Hamburg and Dresden, where he seems to have died in poverty, 1601 or 1605. Follower of Paracelsus and the Hermetists. Most important work is Amphitheatrum Sapientiae Aeternae solius verae, Christiano- Kabbalisticum, divino-magicum, etc., an unfinished work which appeared after his death with preface and conclusion by Erasmus Wohlfahrt (Hanoviae: Giulielmus Antonius, 1609. fol. 2pts. French trans., Paris: Chacornac, 1898. 2 vols. 8vo. 12 plates). The twelve plates of Vol. II are of particular importance; the work is very scarce and plates are often missing. It is an occult treatise describing the seven steps leading to universal knowledge. H. P. B. speaks of Khunrath as being “a most learned kabalist, and the greatest authority among mediaeval occultists” (art. “Kabâlistic 377Views on ‘Spirits’ as Propagated by the Theosophical Society,” Religio-Philosophical Journal, Chicago, Vol. XXIII, January 26, 1878, p. 2). The above work, and other treatises on occult subjects, are in the holdings of the British Museum.
