Occult 1871 Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan, 1871-1940. The Alexandrian Philo Judaeus; the Platonizing Hebraist's complete message, a systematic outline with sufficient detail to furnish quotations. (Yonkers, New York), Platonist press, 1927?, 96 pages. This work was originally published by Luzac & Company in London in 1909. It's possible that Guthrie obtained the sheets for the book from Luzac. This book is paperback with some chipping and toning, in almost good condition, and certainly published after 1919. A very uncommon work. Guthrie, an Episcopalian priest with an MD and Ph.D., never was financially successful and was obligated to publish works from the ancient Greeks to survive. I suppose one could call him a spiritualist today. He has a small but dedicated following and has been reprinted by the many reprint houses on the Net. $25.00 Box 2424 General Note Cover-title: The Alexandrian Philo Judaeus; the Platonizing Hebraist's complete message, a systematic outline with sufficient detail to furnish quotations. Yonkers, Platonist press. [1927?] Kenneth Sylvan Launfal Guthrie (1871–1940), philosopher and writer, was a grandson of feminist Frances Wright and brother of William Norman Guthrie, a Scottish-born Episcopalian priest. He attended school in a range of cities, including Florence, Lausaune, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Brussels, Hadleigh, Edinburgh, New York, St. Stephen's College, Annandale, N. Y. He graduated with a B.A., M.A., and G.D., from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, 1890 and 1893; a Ph.D. from Tulane in 1893; A.M., Harvard, 1894. In addition he qualified as an M.D., with three gold medals at Medico Chiurgical College, Philadelphia, 1903. A second Ph.D. was obtained at Columbia, 1915. However, he was never able to gain a foothold in academic life, and was forced to support himself by teaching children, freelance writing and lecturing. He was ordained in the Protestant Episcopal Church as a deacon in 1890, and as a priest in 1897. He was then placed in charge of All Saints Church, New York. He held the post of Professor in Extension at the University of the South, Sewanee
