Book First Edition
First Edition. The controversial book which could be said to have started the modern publishing book on the historicity of Jesus, including The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. As with many of these books the Dead Sea Scrolls provide new evidence and in this book Allegro suggests that hallucinogenic s may have been secretly or allegorically referred to in the religious texts and stories of the time. A Fair copy. Some focing and spotting to the edges of the text block and the jacket shows interior watermarking. Otherwise a VG copy in a worn, Good jacket. A Scarce hardback first edition.

John Allegro came to some scholarly prominence with his standard introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls in Penguin's Pelican series. His sexualized interpretation of Judaeo-Christian origins with particular emphasis on the role of Amanita Muscaria in ancient rite had less wide appeal initially but gained a wide audience in the work of Graham Hancock. 'The whole point of a mystery cult was that few people knew its secret doctrines. So far as possible, the initiates did not commit their special knowledge to writing. Normally the secrets of the sect were transmitted orally. Another way of passing information was to conceal the message, incantations, or special names within a document ostensibly concerned with a quite different subject. Plant mythology, known for thousands of years over the whole of the ancient world, provided the New Testament cryptographers with their 'cover.' Mushroom stories abounded in the Old Testament. The Christians believed that they were the true spiritual heirs to ancient Israel. So it was an obvious device to convey to the scattered cells of the cult reminders of their sacred doctrines and incantatory names and expressions concealed within a story of a 'second Moses,' another Lawgiver, named after the patriarch's successor in office, Joshua (Greek lesous, 'Jesus'). Thus was born the Gospel myth of the New Testament.'.
