Thelem Abbey Library

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Thelem Abbey library is a series of literary works published by Georg Müller between 1910 and 1923 . Otto Julius Bierbaum was the founder and publisher . It was mainly books from the 18th century, mostly in very meritorious editions, that were made so tangible. The standard equipment is half-leather in-8, but there are also cheaper editions and reprints that were additionally or exclusively in red, blue or green linen.

Surname

The series is named after the abbey Rabelais described in his Gargantua . In this monastery all merrymaking and freedom of movement are compulsory; Above the entrance is written (in German translation) "Do what you want!"
