The list spans roughly 1796 to 1956 and indexes over 100 entries, pairing authors with their works and publication dates. The collection is strikingly eclectic, drawing from sacred scripture translations (the Koran, the Talmud, Sanskrit texts), comparative mythology and folklore (Eskimo, Celtic, Hausa, Navajo, Russian), Western occultism (Enochian magic, Thelema, Druidry), fringe science (flat-earth astronomy, hollow earth theory, ESP research), and classical literature (Ariosto, Aristotle, Beowulf). What makes the selection distinctive is its apparent lack of editorial hierarchy: canonical scholarship (Radcliffe-Brown's anthropology, Otto Rank's psychoanalytic myth theory) sits alongside fringe or conspiratorial works (Rowbotham's *Zetetic Astronomy*, Robison's *Proofs of a Conspiracy*) and heterodox religious texts (the *Gospel of Barnabas*, the *Holy Piby*). For a researcher, this list signals an archive oriented toward the history of alternative spirituality, comparative religion, and Western esotericism rather than mainstream academic literature.","tags":["Sacred-Texts Bibliography"],"text":null,"title":"Site Catalog: Author List: Author List: R","tradition":"Site Catalog","translated_text":null,"word_count":1002}
