The Ur Group: Arturo Reghini

Arturo Reghini (1878-1946) was an Italian mathematician, philosopher and esotericist. Particularly active in Masonic circles (he was also at the top of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite), he devoted himself especially to the study of Pythagoras and Pythagoreanism. He wrote in several journals, from the Papinian "Leonardo" to those he co-founded, such as "Atanor," "Ignis" and "Ur." Despite suppression by the Regime, he received prestigious awards from the Accademia dei Lincei and the Accademia d'Italia in the 1930s, especially for his studies on Pythagoras. This first volume of a three-part series on the UR group brings together several of Reghini's essays, including "On the Western Tradition," "Knowledge of the Symbol," and "Commentary on the Maxims of Initiatic Science."
