The Collected Works of Frater Achad

Volume 1: The Major Works

edited and with an introduction by

Henrik Bogdan


The Collected Works of Frater Achad, compiled and edited by Henrik Bogdan, is a sympathetic presentation of Achad’s rich body of work, and is to be published across several volumes. The first volume in the series, currently in the final stages of preparation, collects together what are widely considered to be his three Major Works – Q. B. L. or The Bride's Reception (1922), The Egyptian Revival (1923), and The Anatomy of the Body of God (1925) – with a substantial Introduction, and many illuminating annotations throughout the Major Works, by Henrik Bogdan.

This initial volume will be of approximately 370 pages, and includes illustrated endpapers, a frontispiece, a section of sixteen colour and black & white plates, a note of sources, and an Index. The volume will be sewn-bound and published in two formats, both in hardback – a standard (ISBN 978-1-906073-51-0) and a deluxe (ISBN 978-1-906073-52-7).
