well this is a fast review of this Book, which i hope to be helpful for Fellow Seekers of the Divine Path.
This is the second edition of The Middle-Eastern Occult Tradition"the Chaldeans and Sabians met and from their union rose the Nabateans, who left us a large amount of occult lore they had inherited from their ancestors." This Occult Lore which is the source from which Modern Western Occult Traditions have been emerged but unfortunately disnconnected from its roots...although i have some copies of the Old sources in my language i couldn't understand the teachings within, as such sources were written figuratively and missing some oral Basic teachings which have been passed Orally from Masters to Disciples adding to this is the intentional errors and mixing in the teachings written in old Manuscripts by the masters but fortunately The writers Revealed the hidden,Deciphered the Symbols, arranged the mixed and corrcting the intentional errors written by the old masters to guard their secrets.
