From the publisher: "A collection of known fragments, translated, systematized and with commentary, and presented as a cosmological system." The poetic fragments are commonly attributed to 'Zoroaster,' but assigned by recent scholarship to Julianus the theurgist, who lived during the third century CE. The verses were considered of some importance within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and Crowley clearly made use of them when constructing his Liber XXV (Ritual of the Star Ruby).
