The Red Book: Liber Novus
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2009. Early Printing. Folio. Fine / Fine. Item #17356
An extraordinary facsimile of the personal self-searching journal of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, profusely illustrated with Jung's own brightly illuminated art.
"The work was crafted by Jung between 1914 and about 1930. It follows, records and comments in fair copy on the author's psychological observations and experiments on himself between 1913 and 1916, and draws on working drafts contained in a series of notebooks or journals, now known as the Black Books. Jung produced these beginning in 1913 and continued until 1917. Despite being considered as the origin of Jung's main oeuvre, it was probably never intended for conventional publication and the material was not published nor made otherwise accessible for study until this edition was published in 2009." - Wiki
