The latest two editions of 'Meditazioni delle vette' were published
by Mediterranee in 2003 and by SeaR in 1998. The former contains
twenty-two essays ; the latter, twenty, of which one is not found in
Mediterranee. Therefore, all in all, both edition contains twenty-
three different essays on mountain, mountain climbing and mountain
symbolism.
The U.S. edition of 'Meditazioni delle vette', published in 1998 by
IT under the title 'Meditations on the Peaks', is based on the first
Italian edition, published in 1974 by Edizion del Tridente, and
contains twenty texts. The three supplementary essays are as
follows : 'Verso il deserto bianco', 'Turismo, sport, montagna - Note
da 'La Torre', and 'Il pittore delle nevi tibetane', which is a
variant of 'An Artist of the heights : Nicolas Roerich'.
Besides, the notes to 'Un mistico delle altezze tibetane', a
commentary on excerpts from 'The Life of Milarepa', originally
published in 'Ur' in 1928, are lacking in 'A Mystic of Tibetan
Mountains'. We will remedy it soon.
Additionally, "Méditations du haut des cimes", first published by
Pardes in 1986 and which has been unavailable for years, will be
published next month by Les Editions du Lore. It is a new French
translation of 'Meditazioni delle vette', based on its latest Italian
editions, and it thus contains twenty-three essays, that is, five
more than in the first edition.
Finally, while the final proof-reading of 'Heathen Imperialism' has
started, an anthology of Evolian writings will be published by a
brand new publisher and distributor at the end of this year.
