Dean,
The plot thickens. Thanks for the efforts. Hopefully, we'll be able to
discover an original copy eventually. It is curious as to why the latter
versions of Etidorhpa didn't include this prologue material in their
printings. Anyway, is there anyone on the list in the Provo, Utah area?
This original version was discovered in the rather large University library
on the BYU campus. I'm in Florida now, so I can't get to it. Maybe someone
there could check out the BYU library to see if it has shown up again in the
last 20 years. Blake, are you out in Utah? Or Roy? Or anyone? Maybe with
a little help we can track this down.
Not that the information in the lost chapters is all that earth shattering,
but I think that the thousands of people who have read and been intrigued by
Etidorhpa who know nothing of these lost chapters will be curious to review
them. Thanks again all who might be able to help.
P.S. I'm really not dillusional. These prologue chapters do really exist.
