T

The Phantom Dog +

A Russian captain’s story from the Odessa Messenger, translated for The Theosophist and published in December 1879. [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] vouched for its author. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] suggests that she may also have made the translation. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Miscellaneous Notes (5)|BCW 2:350]]) +

The Philosophy of Magic +

A work by [[Salverte, Anne-Joseph Eusebe Baconniere de|A.-J. E. B. de Salverte]] used by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] in the controversy concerning [[Slade, Dr. Henry|H. Slade]]. A two-volume New York edition appeared in 1847 ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Huxley and Slade: Who is More Guilty of False Pretencies#232|BCW 1:232]]). +

The Philosophy of Spirit +

The book occasioned a controversy between [[Oxley, William|W. Oxley]] and [[Subba Row, Tallapragada|T. Subba Row]], with [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] annotating both the review and the author’s reply. The attribution of the Mahabharata to the book’s alleged spirit Busiris lacks historical evidence. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Footnotes to The Philosophy of Spirit#99|BCW 4:99]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - In Re Busiris#190|BCW 4:190]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Footnotes to The Philosophy of Spirit (1)#191|BCW 4:191]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Footnotes to The Philosophy of Spirit (1)#192|BCW 4:192]]) +

The Phoenix +

A journal projected by [[Sinnett, Alfred Percy|A. P. Sinnett]] in March 1883; he planned to return to India once the required capital was available. This records a proposal, not a confirmed publication. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Chronological Survey & Key to Abbreviations (BCW vol.4)#xxix|BCW 4:xxix]]) [[Sinnett, Alfred Percy|A. P. Sinnett]]’s projected publication was discussed in K. H.’s letters in the summer of 1883; a letter received on 8 October 1883 declared the venture a failure. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Chronological Survey & Key to Abbreviations (BCW vol.5)#xxiv|BCW 5:xxiv-xxvi]]) +

The Principles of the Jesuits +

An anthology compiled by [[Norris, Henry Handley|H. H. Norris]] (published anonymously in London, 1839), used by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] in Isis Unveiled and Theosophy or Jesuitism. Compiled from the French Extraits des Assertions (1762). ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Compilers Notes (5)#308|BCW 9:308-309]]) +

The Quadrature of the Circle (Parker) +

Work by John A. Parker, cited in New York editions of 1851 and 1874. (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.7)#388|7:388]][[SMW::on]]). +

The Rock +

The issue of 14 October 1887 contains a version of I. Taylor’s statements on Christianity and Islam used by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Christian Lecturers on Buddhism, and Plain Facts about the same, by Buddhists#143|BCW 9:143]]) +

The Scientific Hypothesis Respecting Mediumistic Phenomena +

An article by [[Aksakov, Alexander Nikolayevich|A. N. Aksakov]], translated by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] and printed in the Australian newspaper ''Avoca Mail'' on 27 August 1878 ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - The Diaries of H. P. Blavatsky#438|BCW 1:438]]). +

The Sibylline Oracles (Terry translation) +

The Sibylline Oracles translated from the Greek into English blank Verse. New York, 1890 (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.8)#477|8:477]][[SMW::on]]). The edition includes an extensive bibliography. A version revised after A. Rzach’s text appeared at New York and Cincinnati in 1899. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Compilers Notes (4)#229|BCW 8:229]]) +

The Silent Brother +

A story published under the byline “Count E---- A-----, F.T.S.” [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] tentatively expands it as Endreinek Agardi and draws stylistic parallels with stories associated with [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] and Hilarion. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - The Silent Brother|BCW 2:366-367]]) +

The Society of Benares Pandits +

Collective author credited with articles on Vedanta in the first volume of ''The Theosophist''. The translations are credited to Surya Narayan. This is an institutional attribution, not the name of an individual. +

The Soldier’s Daughter +

Article attributed to T. G. Headley and published in Lucifer, volume 1, February 1888 (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.8)#458|8:458]][[SMW::on]]). +

The Spirit of the Zoroastrian Religion +

A lecture delivered by [[Olcott, Henry Steel|H. S. Olcott]] in Bombay on 14 February 1882. Parts coincide with [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s manuscript on Zoroaster; early members also attributed its extensive footnote on Zoroaster to her. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Zoroaster in History and Zarathustra in the Secret Records|BCW 3:449,465-468]], [[Zirkoff B. - Chronological Survey & Key to Abbreviations (BCW vol.3)|BCW 3:xxviii]]) The lecture of 14 February 1882 was delivered at Bombay Town Hall. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Zoroastrianism in the Light of Occult Philosophy#513|BCW 4:513]]) +

The Stars and the Earth +

The 1880 English edition, enlarged with notes by [[Proctor, Richard Anthony|R. A. Proctor]], was reviewed by [[Moses, William Stainton|W. S. Moses]] and published with a note by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Note on Time, Space, and Eternity#284|BCW 4:284]]) The German original, Die Gestirne und die Weltgeschichte, is by Felix Eberty; the attribution to “Gustav Eberty” in BCW is erroneous. ([https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz12341.html Deutsche Biographie: Felix Eberty]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Eberty Felix Eberty (English Wikipedia)]) +

The Sun: Ruler, Fire, Light, and Life of the Planetary System +

The quotations in the discussion of the nature of the Sun come from pp. 382, 384 and 386–387 of the 1871 London edition published by Longmans, Green & Co. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Compilers Notes (1)#267|BCW 5:267]]) +

The Suppression of the Society of Jesus (Smith) +

“The Suppression of the Society of Jesus,” in The Month, London, Vols. XCIX, C, CI, CII, 1902-03 (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.9)#454|9:454]][[SMW::on]]). +

The Theosophical Forum (Point Loma) +

Theosophical periodical issued under the authority of the Point Loma Theosophical Society. Its new series comprised volumes I-XXIX, September 1929-March 1951, under G. de Purucker and later Arthur L. Conger. (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.7)#404|7:404]][[SMW::on]]). (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Chronological Survey & Key to Abbreviations (BCW vol.3)#xxx|3:xxx]][[SMW::on]]) +

The Theosophical Glossary +

Some material in the posthumous 1892 publication resembles the proposed scope of [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s series “The World’s Great Theosophists”. The projected series itself was never written. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - What is Theosophy|BCW 2:92]]) The preface is dated January 1892, leading [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] to suggest publication early that year. Alongside the London Theosophical Publishing Society, the title page names the offices of The Path in New York and The Theosophist at Adyar. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Frogs and Chinamen#222|BCW 13:222]]) +
