Silver and the Human Organism. By E. and L. Kolisko (Eugen Kolisko, 1893–1939; Lilly Kolisko, 1889–1976). Bournemouth: Kolisko Archive Publications, 1978. First edition thus. Original silver-gray pictorial wrappers designed by G.A.M. Knapp. 24 pp. ISBN 0-906492-10-6.
An uncommon anthroposophical pamphlet exploring the relationship between silver, astronomy, chemistry, and human physiology through the spiritual-scientific framework developed by Rudolf Steiner and advanced by Eugen and Lilly Kolisko. The introduction states that the study seeks to investigate the interrelationships between “Cosmos, Earth and Man,” drawing upon the authors’ medical and scientific backgrounds as well as their long association with Steiner’s work. The text presents silver not merely as a chemical element but as a substance believed to possess a special connection with human biological and spiritual processes.
Eugen Kolisko was a physician, educator, and prominent figure in the early anthroposophical movement; Lilly Kolisko became well known for her experimental research into plant growth, capillary dynamolysis, and biodynamic agricultural methods. This publication was edited from an original manuscript by Joyce Russell and G.A.M. Knapp and issued by the Kolisko Archive Publications series in Bournemouth. A contemporary distributor’s stamp of St. George Book Service, Spring Valley, New York, appears on the title page.
A scarce example of late twentieth-century anthroposophical and alternative medical literature, of interest to collectors of Rudolf Steiner, biodynamic agriculture, esoteric medicine, and the history of alternative scientific thought.
