'Gold Tried in the Fire'. The Prophet TheaurauJohn Tany and the English RevolutionRoutledge, 05/12/2016 - 504 من الصفحات This is a study of the most fascinating and idiosyncratic of all seventeenth-century figures.

During his prophetic phase Tany wrote a number of remarkable but elusive works that are unlike anything else in the English language. His sources were varied, although they seem to have included almanacs, popular prophecies and legal treatises, as well as scriptural and extra-canonical texts, and the writings of the German mystic Jacob Boehme. Indeed, Tany's writings embrace currents of magic and mysticism, alchemy and astrology, numerology and angelology, Neoplatonism and Gnosticism, Hermeticism and Christian Kabbalah - a ferment of ideas that fused in a millenarian yearning for the hoped for |
