Schönes, breitrandiges Exemplar.Dictionary of Gnosis & Western Esotericism, 966ff.: "From the early 1670s until his death, Pordage (1607/08 - 1681) wrote most of his elaborate, lucid, and concisely expressed metaphysical treatises. All these treatises were based wholly and directly on his own spiritual experiences . Pordage's magnum opus, Göttliche und wahre Metaphysica was also written during this time [around 1675], and was probably concluded in the year of his death. But none of these works were published during his lifetime and, even more surprisingly, only two were published in English after his death. Although all his works had a wide private circulation, and were extremely influential in both England and on the Continent, it remains a strange fact that Prodage's primary works - albeit written English - were published only in German, and have been accesible only in that language to the present day .In his magnum opus . Pordage discusses the light and dark worlds in detail. The breadth of his work is quite remarkable; around two thousand pages long, Pordage's Metaphysica reveals the realm of eternal nature, the wrathful word, the paradisal realm and the angelical world in cearly organized sections His work is explicitly visionary: Pordage writes that it derives not from reason alone, and is not like that of the Platonists, but emerges 'out of what my eternal understanding spirit with its eyes has seen revealed of the Angelic centri.' . On the whole, Pordage is the single most important English theosopher of the 17th century." (Arthus Versluis). N° de ref. del artículo 231203
