Free Download Robert Collis, "Initiating the Millennium: The Avignon Society and Illuminism in Europe "
English | ISBN: 0190903376 | 2020 | 268 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
In Initiating the Millennium, Robert Collis and Natalie Bayer fill a substantial lacuna in the study of an initiatic society-known variously as the Illuminés d’Avignon, the Avignon Society, the New Israel Society, and the Union-that flourished across Europe between 1779 and 1807. Based on hitherto neglected archival material, this study provides a wealth of fresh insights into a group that included members of various Christian confessions from countries spanning the length and breadth of the Continent. The founding members of this society forged a unique group that incorporated distinct strands of Western esotericism (particularly alchemy and arithmancy) within an all-pervading millenarian worldview. Collis and Bayer demonstrate that the doctrine of premillennialism-belief in the imminent advent of Christ’s reign on Earth-soon came to constitute the raison d’être of the society.

Free Download Mark Jarzombek, "The Long Millennium: Affluence, Architecture and Its Dark Matter Economy "
English | ISBN: 103224416X | 2023 | 316 pages | EPUB | 36 MB
This book argues that long-distance trade in luxury items – such as diamonds, gold, cinnamon, scented woods, ivory and pearls, all of which require little overhead in their acquisition and were relatively easy to transport – played a foundational role in the creation of what we would call "global trade" in the first millennium CE. The book coins the term "dark matter economy" to better describe this complex – though mostly invisible – relationship to normative realities.
