He is perhaps best known to the English-speaking public as the author of the following books: Sacred Art in East and West; Siena, City of the Virgin; Moorish Culture in Spain; and Alchemy: Science of the Cosmos, Science of the Soul. A generation ago, he won much acclaim for producing and publishing the first successful, full-scale facsimiles of the Book of Kells and other ancient manuscripts. In more recent years, he acted as a specialist advisor to UNESCO, with particular reference to the preservation of the unique architectural heritage of Fez, which was then in danger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present volume is a complete collection of Burckhardt's essays, originally published in a variety of German and French journals. They range from modern science in its various forms, through Christianity and Islam, to symbolism and mythology. It is a rich collection. Burckhardt blends an accessible style with a penetrating insight. He interprets the metaphysical, cosmological, and symbolic dimensions of these sacred traditions from the perspective of timeless, spiritual wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50129414095071,"sku":"9780887066849","price":63.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/j1_a7Yvoh29780887066849.webp?v=1781708738"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/titus-burckhardt.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
