Apollonius of Tyana and The Shroud of Turin
Chronological Historical Bibliography
By Robertino Solàrion
Dallas, Texas
20-02-2002 (Update: 21 September 2004)
The following Apollonius Bibliography was compiled over the
course of the past four years from my own personal library, messages
from people on the Internet and information that I obtained through
a search at the Google Internet Search Engine. The Google
search found a total of 2,480 documents containing mention of
Apollonius of Tyana, many of which were simply duplicates of
others at different websites. When I reached item 762, Google
indicated that these 762 were the most relevant and that other quite
similar pages had been omitted, giving me a choice of continuing the
search with the full list. Certainly, therefore, the following
bibliography is complete in the sense that all of the most
illustrious works about Apollonius of Tyana have been
included. In addition to these primary works, Apollonius of Tyana
has been mentioned casually in all sorts of miscellaneous articles
that are catalogued online, many of which are electronic versions
only. Although this current bibliography may be expanded or refined
in the future, it is essentially complete at this point, as there
are simply no other items which need to be included.
Some of these bibliographical references note that the date is
approximate or do not include a place of publication. This
information could not be determined; and if any reader can assist me
in refining this data, please send email. Your cooperation will be
most appreciated. An asterisk *
beside the date denotes that these writings were unfavorable to
Apollonius by authors who attempted to debunk this "fiction"
in defense of "the Jesus Christ". Undoubtedly,
additional items in the bibliography are equally anti-Apollonius,
but I have no information one way or the other about them. Also,
quite a number of these older books have been reprinted in recent
decades, though most of these reprint dates are not included here
but can be obtained through Web searching by author’s name.
This bibliography contains over 195 entries spanning the last 500
years. It does not contain any references to Apollonius of
Tyana that can be found in various dictionaries and
encyclopedias which have been published in numerous Western
countries in the past. It also does not include any source of
information about Apollonius prior to the republication of
the Philostratus biography in Venice in 1501-1504. After the
original publication of the Philostratus biography in 220 CE,
the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE and the Edicts of Emperor
Theodosius I in 381-389 CE, which made the dissemination of such
information punishable by death, the Philostratus biography
"officially disappeared" from history until 1501 when Aldus
Manutius rediscovered it and published it along with numerous
other ancient manuscripts, commonly known collectively as
Rhetores Graeci. From that point until the present-day, all
other attempts to censor or prohibit this book have been futile.
Where this invaluable book had been hidden away for the thousand
years prior to Aldus is, to date at least, unknown.
A Gaul/Frenchman named Apollinaris Sidonius (now known in
France as Saint Sidoine), who married the daughter of
Roman Emperor Avitus, apparently saw the Philostratus
biography around the year 460 and prepared an analytical
treatise about it for Pope Léon I, including at one point
making a comparison of sorts between Apollonius and Léon.
Catholic Bishop Nemesius of Emesa, Syria, who is peripherally
connected to
the Emerald Tablet, wrote that he had met
Apollinaris Sidonius, a meeting that most probably took place
in Rome when Sidonius was the Ambassador from Bordeaux and
during a visit by Bishop Nemesius to the "Holy See".
But whether Bishop Nemesius discussed the Emerald Tablet
with Apollinaris Sidonius cannot be determined. It should
also be noted here that Bishop Nemesius was from Emesa,
the hometown of Philostratus’ patroness, the "philosophical"
Syrian Roman Empress Julia Domna, whose own father
Bassianus was himself the High Priest of Emesa. Certainly
then, Bishop Nemesius was aware of the history of Julia
Domna’s involvement with the biography of Apollonius and
possibly also the Emerald Tablet, which centuries later may
have become known as "The Table of the Sun".
Although I cannot say this with absolute certainty, as I have not
yet seen this work, the 1932 French book by Maurice Magre,
noted below, seems to link the saga of Apollonius to the
Albigensians, a Gnostic Cathar cult that flourished in
Albi, France, in the 12th-13th
Centuries, until they were obliterated in the final medieval
Crusade, the so-called "Albigensian Crusade" initiated in
1208 CE by Pope Innocent III and completed by his papal
successors in 1244. And, curiously, Christian Rosenkruez (the
pseudonym of Johan V. Andrea), founder of the Rosicrucian
Order around 1614, is said by legend to have been buried on a
mountain near Albi.
In that meantime, 500-1500 CE, other than works by Arab alchemist
and philosopher Jabir Ibn Hayyan (now known as "Father of
Arab Chemistry") in about the year 800 CE, and a Spanish writer
Hugues de Santalla (styling himself "Geber"
after Jabir) around 1150, citing both Aristotle’s "Secretum
Secretorum" ("Secret of Secrets") and Jabir’s work
about "Balinas The Wise" (i.e., Apollonius of Tyana),
very little, if anything, regarding Apollonius was published
in either Europe or the Middle East. One of Jabir’s books was
titled Kitab al-Hajar ’ala Ra’y Balinas (or The Book of
the Stone of Balinas [The Wise]). Apparently, it is from the
writings of Jabir and "Geber" that we have
modern knowledge of the "Emerald Tablet" ("Tabula
Smaragdina") that was first attributed to Aristotle
in his "Secretum Secretorum" which Hugues de Santalla
translated from Arabic into Latin. For more information, the reader
is referred below to the 1942 publication by Paul Kraus in
Cairo, as well as the 1994 preface by D. Kahn, the 2000
article by Françoise Hudry and the more obscure 1798 document
by Pierre Samuel Sylvestre de Sacy, all published in Paris. I
also refer the reader to my own companion treatises titled "The
Synchronized Chronologies of Roman and Related Histories"
and "The
Aldus Preface".
Parenthetically here, my work on this bibliography has undergone
extensive revision and updating as the months have passed. Recently
last March 2002, Professor David Armstrong of the University
of Texas at Austin completed a translation from Latin/Greek into
English of the preface which Aldus Manutius wrote to
accompany his publication of Philostratus’ biography of
Apollonius. Professor Armstrong’s work is an original
translation commissioned by me, the first ever (that I know) of this
Aldus preface into English. Simultaneously, Professeur
François Gadeyne completed the first known modern French
translation of the preface, which translation is not available here.
This preface is analyzed in greater detail in another essay.
However, it can be noted here that in 1501 Alemannus Rhinuccinus
completed his translation of Philostratus’ Life of Apollonius;
but Aldus postponed its publication for three years until
after Friar Zanobi Acciaioli (addressed by Aldus as "Zenobius")
of the San Marco Monastery Library in Florence could complete his
new translation of Bishop Eusebius’ Contra Hieroclem, which
Aldus stated in the preface was "the antidote to the poison"
of the liar Philostratus.
Also, Aldus opened his preface by noting that the translation
by Alemannus Rhinuccinus was the fourth translation into
Latin, since (apparently) the Fifth Century contact between
Apollinaris Sidonius and Pope Léon I in France. Thus,
between the time of "Saint Sidoine" and Aldus, a
period of one thousand years, three "lost" translations of this
biography were completed; and Aldus knew about them all, but
Aldus did not record for posterity’s sake exactly who
undertook these three translations.
Here, for the record, is my personal modern rendition of the
translation of the Emerald Tablet.
Here is that which the Priest Sagiyus of Nablus has dictated
concerning the entrance of Balinas [Apollonius] into
the hidden chamber [Cave of Trophonius?]:
After my entrance into the chamber,
where the talisman was set up, I came up to an old man
sitting on a golden throne, who was holding an Emerald Tablet in
one hand. And behold the following -- in Syriac [Assyrian], the
primordial language -- was written thereon:
1) Here is a true
explanation, concerning which there can be no doubt.
2) It attests: As Above, So Below -- the work of the
miracle of the One.
3) And things have been created from this primal
substance through a single act. How wonderful is this work!
It is the main principle of the world and is its maintainer.
4) Its father is the Sun and its mother, the Moon.
5) The wind has borne it in its body, and the Earth
has nourished it.
6) The father of talismen and the protector of
miracles whose powers are perfect, and whose lights are
confirmed.
7) A fire becomes Earth, so separate the Earth from
the fire, and thereby attain the subtle over the gross, with
care and sagacity.
8) It rises from Earth to Heaven, so as to draw the
lights of the heights to itself, and descends to the earth;
thus within it are the forces of above and below.
9) Thus wilt thou partake of the light of the world,
and darkness will flee from thee.
10) This is the force of forces, which overcomes
every subtle thing and penetrates into all that is gross.
11) The structure of the microcosm is in accordance
with the structure of the macrocosm.
12) And accordingly, the arrangements to follow this
road are hidden.
13) And to this, aspired Hermes, who was thrice
graced with majestic wisdom.
14) And this is his last book, which he concealed in
this chamber.
Although when I began this introduction to the bibliography, I did
not intend to include a discussion of the Emerald Tablet,
it now seems appropriate to place it here, for to a certain extent
the
Emerald Tablet was the origin of all that
followed. There has been debate as to the meaning of the world "emerald"
in this context. Certainly it does not mean that this tablet was
inscribed upon a large stone of pure emerald. Such a stone could not
exist. Thus, people have suggested that it was inscribed on jade,
not emerald. To me, this also seems a bit illogical, as jade
like emerald is a precious jewel, not a rock or stone, like
limestone or granite, for example. During my 1998 trip to
Greece and Turkiye, I saw some areas where the
rocks that lay on the ground were green in color, compared to, say,
the sandstone rocks of Oklahoma which are usually reddish or white.
There are rocks of all colors all across this planet. Thus, it is
entirely possible that this brief "Book Of Hermes"
could have been carved upon a tablet that was fashioned out of some
of this Greek/Ionian green rock; and the word "emerald" or "smaragdina"
would refer to the greenish color of the stone only -- not
intending to imply the rarer jewels of emerald or jade.
In mid-2002, the following JPG was sent to me by an e-friend in a
different context than Apollonius. However, it reaffirmed my
own idea that this "Tabula Smaragdina" could have been
fashioned from emerald-green rocks like these. This green-rock
temple-cave complex is located at Ajanta,
India (below image), about a
two-hour drive east of modern Bombay (Mumbai),
in western India. This is not too far off the route that
Apollonius and Damis travelled south from Taxila
after visiting the Iarchas and the Sages in the
western Himalaya Mountains.
If you search on the Web for "Emerald
Tablet", you will also find references to "Emerald Tablets"
(plural). There is a series of
17 of these tablets,
which are quite long by comparison to this single Tablet of
Hermes. These other "tablets" discuss some of the
writings found in the so-called "Hall of Amenti"; and
even though they are interesting in and of themselves, they are not
the authentic "Tabula Smaragdina" of Hermes,
obtained by Apollonius from the Cave of Trophonius.
What they really may be, I personally do not know.
Also in mid-2002, I obtained information
regarding the difference between the single Emerald Tablet of
Hermes and these other 17 essays, i.e., "Tablets" plural.
These 17 later tablets were based upon the ideas of the
single Emerald Tablet and are known collectively as "Corpus
Hermeticum".
Aristotle was the teacher of Alexander The Great, who
may have brought the Tablet from Egypt or
Babylonia to Greece, perhaps on the actual
advice of Aristotle. Then later still, the Tablet was
attributed to Apollonius of Tyana, who probably retrieved it
from the Cave of Trophonius about 100 kilometers northwest of
Athens, or perhaps from the Cave of Orpheus in
Thrace. Subsequently the Tablet was donated to or
acquired by the personal library of Roman Emperor Hadrian in
about 120 CE, 23 years after the death of Apollonius. Where
this Tablet is located today is anyone’s guess; but again,
curiously, it is rumored to have been hidden away a final time in
Christian Rosenkruez’s mountain tomb at Albi, not too far
away from Avignon, where the Holy See was
headquartered during the 1300s, when the original "Mandylion"
(now known as the Shroud of Turin) was brought from
Constantinople to France in 1356.
 There
has been speculation amongst various people, including myself, that
what was known as "The Holy Grail" (which some have also
equated with the legendary "Philosopher’s Stone") was in fact
the Emerald Tablet. The Holy Grail was supposedly a
goblet that was used to collect drops of blood from the crucified
Christ before he "died". An Internet friend in Australia referred me
to a website where this "Holy Grail" is depicted as being "emerald
green" in color. Whether this "coincidence" alone
allows for an identification of the two as one and the same has not
yet been determined.
Recently new excavations have begun at Tyana (modern
Kemerhisar) in Turkiye, an effort by scholars
to unearth what may remain of this ancient cultural and commercial
center, which was founded in approximately 825 BCE by Assyrian
Empress Semiramis Tuvannanas and Hittite-Cappadocian
King Nimrod. Because of the linguistic similarity between the
two words "Tyana" and "Tuvannanas", we may infer that
perhaps the city was named after Empress Semiramis Tuvannanas.
We shall have to wait and see if the Emerald Tablet, or
anything else of significance to Apollonius, is discovered in
the ruins of old Tyana.
The following bibliography illustrates the progress
and speed of our global technology over the past half-millennium. As
I have been assembling it, I have had to give it a lot of "editorial"
scrutiny. Johann Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press,
published his "Gutenberg Bible" in 1456, the first book ever
published using a printing press. As the centuries have gone by, the
amount of writing about Apollonius has increased accordingly,
indicating how as time has passed, the speed of our ability to share
information with one another has increased proportionately. I have
counted the various publications in the different centuries, as
follows:
Glancing through this collection of
material, one understands immediately the reason for the following
statement in the article concerning Flavius Philostratus in
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Volume
III, Page 324, by Professor William Smith & Others,
London, 1890:
"It would be endless to enumerate
all the works that have been written in whole or in part
regarding this life of Apollonius. An examination or
notice of them will be found in the prefaces of Olearius
and of Kayser. The work itself was first published by
Aldus, 1501, Venice, fol., with a Latin translation by
Alemannus Rhinuccinus, and along with it, as an antidote,
Eusebius, Contra Hieroclem. The other editions having this
work contain the whole works of Philostratus, as will be
mentioned afterwards.
"The life of Apollonius (with a commentary by Artus
Thomas) was translated into French by Blaise de Vigenère,
1596, 2 vols. 4to., and repeatedly republished, the translation
being revised and corrected by Féd. Morel, one of the
editors of Philostratus (Bayle, art. Apollonius
Tyanaeus).
"A translation of the two first books, with notes professedly
philological, but only partly so, and partly containing a
commentary of bitter infidelity, was published in London, 1680,
fol. The translation, and probably the philological notes, both
of which evince much reading but not accurate scholarship, are
by Charles Blount, whose tragical end is told by Bayle.
The other notes were partly derived, it is said, from a
manuscript of Lord Herbert. This translation was prohibited with
severe penalties in 1693, but was twice reprinted on the
Continent."
Let me express my profound gratitude to
my Apollonius research colleague Nicolas Verger in
Bordeaux, France, for his invaluable and untiring assistance in
compiling this unprecedented chronological historical bibliography.
