About this Item

Temenos : a review devoted to the arts of the imagination. Volume 5 (1984) to Volume 13 (1992) / edited by Kathleen Raine. 9 volumes. Paperback, VG. White covers with artwork by Cecil Collins and others. A few spines slightly sunned. Contents clean anad bright. Temenos launched in 1980, with first publication in 1981. Temenos was cofounded by Kathleen Raine, Philip Sherrard, Keith Critchlow and Brian Keeble, and was produced for thirteen volumes, with Raine becoming the sole editor by the fourth issue. The word "temenos" means "sacred place" or "sacred enclosure". The journal had an objective of "The affirmation, at the highest level of scholarship and talent, and in terms of the contemporary situation, of the Sacred." The Prince of Wales was sufficiently impressed by the journal to sponsor a school based "on truth, beauty and goodness", and this led to the creation of the Temenos Academy in 1990. Henri Corbin's L'Universite de St Jean de Jerusaleme school founded in Paris in 1974, was an inspiration for the founding of Temenos Academy. But while Corbin's school held to an Abrahamic tradition, the new teaching organisation also looked to the teaching of Buddhism and Hinduism. The thirteenth and last issue of Temenos appeared in 1992. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
