Wilhelm Kroll's 'De oraculis Chaldaicis' (1894) is a foundational philological study of the Chaldean Oracles. While the Oracles themselves have been translated into English by various scholars (e.g., Majercik, Johnston), Kroll's specific Latin analytical text has not been translated into English. The Open Library entry found is a record for the original Latin work, not an English translation. No evidence of any English translation of this specific scholarly monograph was found in any catalog.

About This Book
neoplatonismtheurgyphilosophylinguistics
Unlock the 'barbarian' wisdom that late antique philosophers valued above all other books: the mysterious Chaldean Oracles. Wilhelm Kroll’s definitive study peels back centuries of myth to reveal a rigorous system of theurgy, divine fire, and the 'flower of the mind' required to perceive the ultimate Father.
