Phantasma
Book collection

The syntagm mundus imaginalis was first coined by Henry Corbin who wished to designate by it what is known as iconosphere or universe of image. What this collection aims to achieve is to gather originals of works or manuscripts in translation exploring the constellations of images and symbols that nurture human culture from within. In turn, these galaxies of symbols cluster together in coherent visions of the universe, images of the world projected by various religious, philosophical or artistic systems. The collection, therefore, comprises many series of works that peruse aspects such as:

Worlds of Images:
1. Anthropology of Imagination
2. General Archetypology
3. Image Theory
4. History of Imagination

Images of the World:
5. Shamanistic religions
6. Greek Religion and Mystery Cults
7. Gnosis and Hermetism
8. Mystic Disciplines: Renaissance and the Modern Age
