supposed? No, they are not supposed. They are factual, with numerous evidence and strong evidence presented, including obtained by field research and others based on historical documents by Allan Kardec that, little by little, come to light.

Unfortunately, the FEB, based on Carlos Seth's arguments, is basing itself on very weak evidence to argue in favor of what it believes – non-adulteration – without presenting, as Kardec would do, the opposite argument, without going deep into them. I discuss that in this article: https://geolegadodeallankardec.com.br/2021/09/01/as-adulteracoes-nas-obras-de-kardec-e-o-csi-do-espiritismo/

worse than that, the defense of non-adulteration, against the existing evidence, hurts Allan Kardec's own image, as if he, who always carried out everything with all the necessary care, under all the requirements of human law, had then decided to submit an amendment illegally, without making the legal deposit, obligatory at that time, making him a self-confessed criminal. I believe that we can and must do more than that, not only in the name of Allan Kardec, but in the name of something much bigger and more serious: Spiritism, a doctrine that finally comes to provoke and help the great changes necessary for humanity.

I feel a great dissatisfaction when verifying not that there are contrary opinions, but, yes, that many spiritists do not even try to follow the example of Kardec, honest and humble, verifying all serious sources, even contrary to his previously developed ideas, going deep into them and analyzing what is true or probable in them and, modifying one's own opinion in the face of scientific evidence and, when not, scrutinizing such ideas in order to show where they fail.

Unfortunately, many have not acted like this, despite countless serious spiritualists, already since the 19th century and, later, passing by Silvino Canuto de Abreu and Herculano Pires himself, having raised serious accusations against the deviations that the Doctrine suffered after Kardec.

In true, I don't want you to agree with me, but that we all act conscientiously, mirrored in the example of Professor Rivail. Several works, since a few years, have presented evidence that is too serious and too well-founded to the point of being put aside and discarded. If we are going to discuss tampering, let us discuss it in the light of reason, in the face of logical reasoning and evidence and evidence, as Kardec would do.

As we call ourselves Spiritists, which is a science born from the observation of facts and evidence, I ask once again: let us not leave these works aside, because what they bring, even if it were false, is too important and serious to ignore. them, as the Brazilian spiritist movement has done.

They are, but not only:

Brothers, read, study, inform yourself and spread this motivation everywhere. It is high time to restore the original understanding of Spiritism!

We often find ourselves asking: why reincarnate? Could we not make all progress on the spiritual plane?

Spiritism, as in everything that we are already able to understand, comes to our rescue, explaining this point, which is actually fundamental to our lives, since we see so many brothers and, sometimes, ourselves, with thoughts of discouragement and giving up. . How many brothers have not taken their own lives from their bodies, through suicide, interrupting a reincarnation plan so important to them?

What Spiritism teaches us, dear brother or sister, is that, when in Spirit, in the state of erraticity, that is, in the period between one incarnation and another, our true self emerges with emphasis and transparency. Thus, our good and bad virtues, embedded in our minds, show themselves as they are, and with greater truth. It is as if we are a crystal vase that has the cloudy water thrown away and then starts to shine in its original clarity, although this does not always show a crystallity of heart.

The Spirit that has been struggling for some time due to moral imperfections - and even material vices - and that, from incarnation to incarnation, has not yet found the strong decision for its change, when disincarnating, it starts to experience this moral environment at its disposal. , as they move, with the speed of thought, to the companies and environments they most desire. Thus, many spirits easily become part of the ranks of spirits who agonize in the misunderstanding that, in order to leave, a firm will is enough, which until then, even in physical life, they often failed to have.

Also, there are cases of obsessed and persecuted spirits, often demented by the extent of their own guilt and misunderstanding.

Then comes the opportunity of reincarnation as a very valuable device that allows the Spirit, through the obliteration of integral memory, to regain breath and correct imperfections, especially through the so important but still so forgotten role of parents or caregivers, from early material childhood that the Spirit goes through, a phase in which it becomes more docile and malleable to learning - which should always be done on the basis of love and fraternity, in a constructive way and never violent or imposing.

But, we remember, reincarnation, or reincarnation planning, only happens in an “impositional” way when the Spirit does not yet have the consciousness developed to the point of understanding the needs for its advancement. It is at this point that he is constrained to reincarnate, by other Spirits who, in the name of charity, dedicate themselves to such a task.

From the moment, however, in which the Spirit develops its own awareness of its own imperfections and the need to correct them, it starts to act positively in this process, often requesting a new incarnation, full of tests and atonements, with the purpose of learning and correcting its imperfections.

Therefore, the incarnation, the present life, is a divine gift, a blessed opportunity to readjust the factors that, in ourselves, lead us to make mistakes and, therefore, to suffer. It has never been and will never be a punishment or a punishment and, if we ourselves do not increase our sufferings by our own actions, we will be able to go through the trials and atonements many times chosen by us, because we will never be abandoned in this endeavor and, in addition to the brothers who assist us from the spiritual plane, there will always be people around us, ready and often devoted to this planning, to help us.

Dear brothers, let us spread this simple and so powerful truth, so that the brother who is about to give up on life, reconsider his position and that he does not have to, only from the spiritual plane, wrapped in suffering, look back and verify that the suffering that he was going through was about to end and that he had a lot to help him change, never to suffer like that again, if he had his will very firm and decided. And remember, always: we will all reach happiness and perfection, some faster than others, by the action of their own will:

133. Do spirits who from the beginning have followed the path of good need incarnation?

“All are created simple and ignorant and are instructed in the struggles and tribulations of bodily life. God, who is just, could not make some happy, without toil and work, therefore without merit.”

The) - But, then, what is the use of spirits to have followed the path of good, if this does not exempt them from the sufferings of bodily life?

“They reach the end faster. Furthermore, the afflictions of life are often the consequence of the imperfection of the Spirit. The fewer imperfections, the less torments. He who is neither envious, nor jealous, nor greedy, nor ambitious, will not suffer the tortures that arise from these defects.”

Charity: term so used everywhere, but still so misunderstood. What would be true Charity, according to Spiritism?

For us, spiritualists, it appears everywhere, in all literature. Kardec made it the necessary basis for any and all happiness, saying: “outside of charity there is no salvation”. The statement, of course, was born from a certain opposition to religious dogmatism, which tried to proclaim that salvation was in each sect, in an exclusivist and even selfish way, but it is still true, because, without charity, there is no love for others. .

However, the term charity has now taken on the connotation of welfarism, almost exclusively, becoming synonymous with material donation. But, so that we can really understand it within the spiritist context, we need to go back to the context of Allan Kardec, in France in the mid-1850s:

It is important to highlight that the term charity used by Kardec, for Rational Spiritualism, at that time (diverging from the current definition of the term, which is close to assistanceism), represented act from duty, that is, freely, consciously, intentionally, independently of punishments and rewards, with a full understanding of the moral law. Charity is a principle that guides the integral action of the being, and not a complementary activity, as if it were an accessory behavior. […].

Paulo Henrique de Figueiredo – The Legacy of Allan Kardec

We thus see that charity, properly understood, must constitute the to be, the way of proceeding, and not just consisting of isolated actions that, often, speak more to the need to be seen as a “charitable person”, a situation in which there is no real charity, but only ego and vanity. More than that, charity is not limited to material donations. In fact, I would say, it is, most of the time, opposite to material donation, since whoever donates materially, be it money, food, things, often does so as a form of relief of conscience.

The dear reader, forgive me, because the intention really is not judge anyone on their actions. Christ himself exemplified, in the “parable of the widow's mite”, that the real intention, or, if you like, faith, is the one who speaks the loudest. Many people donate money or other resources wanting to really doing good and, of course, that counts a lot. But how many times do we limit ourselves to making a material donation, without even reflecting on what we are doing and on the real situation of that person who asks us, in a [misleading] act, almost always, of releasing us from going beyond, or just to feel good?

Let's think: how many people use donations to, by reselling resources, obtain money to obtain drugs? How many people, having easy resources at their disposal, throw themselves into the worst vices and profligacy, digging deeper and deeper into the very hole in which they are sinking? Is giving to these people on a regular basis really helping their situations? Could it really be that if the rich simply gave away their fortunes, human misery would end?

By no means do I say that we should not donate material resources; but let us think further, analyzing each situation and seeking to be fraternal with the brother who seeks us, really caring about that person's situation. Often, a simple question like “why are you on the street, brother? What is going on?” can pave the way for a much more fruitful relationship that, let’s not forget, benefits both sides.

The individual who really wants to do good does not do charity once a month or a week: he It's kind, all the time. AND be charitable it consists in putting the other ahead of our own wants and needs. How many times, people going through the most difficult moments of their lives, find the strength to do charity by giving a smile to those who cry even more? My grandmother, for example, going through a serious and painful illness, found the strength to be sweet and affable, smiling at all who came to visit her in her last days of her last incarnation. Is this not a kind of charity – perhaps one of the greatest there is?

When we think, therefore, about charity, we must necessarily think about one thing: going further. If we donate something material, let this be just the door to creating a bond and an opening to deepen the relationship with the brother who may be in great suffering. But, above all, let us not forget that the greatest charity we can do to others is to bring them love, faith and consolation, especially through the example of someone who lives what they say and not just as someone who throws words to the wind.

It is, therefore, a kind of charity towards humanity that we strive for our own moral advancement, seeking to change ourselves in the light of what consoles us and, in our case, dedicatedly studying Spiritism, a doctrine that, many times in life, saved us from bad choices or led us to better paths. Let us learn to spread it without shocking, that is, without starting conversations talking about reincarnation and obsession, but, rather, presenting the very comforting philosophy found in this Doctrine.

We will then go out the gate and find people everywhere needing, desperately, for something that comforts them, that helps them get the thought of giving up from their heads, that helps them go through life's trials with unshakable faith and with firm resolve. They are almost always difficult people, due to the moment of crisis who live, and wouldn't it be greater charity to make an effort to help her, in a persistent and fraternal way, even knowing that, many times, we will experience difficulties in this initially difficult contact?

Believe me, brothers: we do charity much bigger leaving behind our imperfections and spreading consolations and knowledge that can change, forever, the direction of a Spirit, than just donating a “thing”, which he will use and discard, while we turn our backs and go on with our lives, without the desire to go beyond. After all, what's the point of donating a bag of rice to someone who asks at the gate when we're not charitable, even with our own family members or our subordinates at work?

I close by leaving the message of “A Protecting Spirit”, presented in chapter XIII of The Gospel According to Spiritism:

My friends, I have heard many among you say: How can I give charity, when I often do not even have the necessary?

Friends, in a thousand ways charity is done. You can do it by thoughts, by words and by actions. By thoughts, praying for the abandoned poor, who died without even being able to see the light. A prayer made from the heart relieves them. In words, giving your everyday companions some good advice, saying to those who despair, privations soured their spirits and led them to blaspheme the name of the Most High: “I was as you are; I suffered, I felt miserable, but I believed in Spiritism and, you see, now I am happy.” To the old people who tell you: “It's useless; I am at the end of my journey; I will die as I have lived”, say: “God deals equally with us all; remember the workers of the last hour.” To children already addicted to the company they have surrounded themselves with and who are going around the world, ready to succumb to evil temptations, say: “God sees you, my dear little ones”, and do not get tired of repeating these gentle words to them. They will eventually germinate in their childish intelligences and, instead of being vagabonds, you will make them men. This too is charity.

Others among you say, “Why! we are so numerous on earth that God cannot see us all.” Listen well, my friends: when you are on the top of the mountain, do you not look at the billions of grains of sand that cover it? Well then, in the same way God sees you. He lets you use your free will, as you let those grains of sand move with the wind that disperses them. Only God, in his infinite mercy, has placed in the depths of your hearts a watchful sentinel, which is called conscience. Listen to her, she will give you only good advice. Sometimes you manage to numb it by opposing the spirit of evil. She then shuts up. But rest assured that the poor banished woman will make herself heard as soon as you let her perceive the shadow of remorse. Listen to her, question her and you will often find yourself comforted by the advice you have received from her.

My friends, to each new regiment the general gives a standard. I give you this maxim of Christ as a motto: “Love one another.” Observe this precept, gather around this banner and you will have happiness and consolation. – A protective spirit. (Lyon, 1860.)

We live in the great darkness, again. After Spiritism dawned on the face of the Earth as a great light that could launch us into the most accelerated process of human spiritual and moral renewal, spreading with the speed of lightning, it suffered a huge setback and, then, slowly began to be forgotten in its proposals. and true face originals. Then came the wars, the great industrial development, the enormous material facilities, the enormous profits and, behind the big false smiles, the beautiful social masks, happy and fun, the enormous pain and anguish multiplied that, not infrequently, find a way out in giving up on life and in direct or indirect suicide.

Humanity cries out. There is weeping and gnashing of teeth. So, then, the unimaginable happens and a disease that is easily transmitted, although with relatively low mortality rates, spreads across the entire surface of the planet, taking loved ones, neighbors and acquaintances, poor and rich, in a matter of a few weeks – almost always, in less than 20 days. Humanity is once again wounded and vulnerable. The Spirit was forgotten. Morality was put aside as an article of politicking. God has become an article of blind faith, often misunderstood and, although present in many languages, empty in the heart.

The departures of close people shake families and individuals. A great movement accelerates: the search for rapprochement with the spiritual, the search for consolation, the search for answers. And behold, precisely at that same time, great studies and precious works began to increase in our eyes, by the dedicated hands of brothers dedicated to the work of Truth, bringing to us the true face of Spiritism and its history, and great and precious part, hitherto misunderstood or otherwise unknown.

Today, we are experiencing a process very similar to that experienced in the mid-19th century, bringing us an opportunity that is once again extremely grandiose. I see and believe that, as before, we are experiencing a great call back to spirituality. Mediumship phenomena are multiplying everywhere, including physical ones, with a view to attracting our attention. As before, humanity passed through a very serious materialist phase, giving rise to the great wounds of selfishness and pride, in addition to space for the proliferation of all vices and imperfections, physical and moral.

It was made known to us that Spiritism suffered from various manipulations and deviations, sometimes criminal, if not in the eyes of human justice, but at least in the eyes of Divine justice. Lyrics and Movement have been tampered with. Spiritism, after Kardec's death, lost the gigantic force that it had been developing and, with the wars, found shelter in Brazil, to remain in a semi-gestational stage, in the religious environment, for more than a century...

Brothers, as I said, we are living a very important and unique moment. Spiritism was born at a favorable and necessary moment, when humanity was looking for philosophical answers to face materialist denialism, which, in turn, was born to face the fierce dogmatism of the old religions. Today, Spiritism is reborn, in its real exuberance, at the right time, to respond to the cries of those who seek answers to the same strong and fervent materialism that cooled souls during the last century and put man on the path of gain and profit, of ephemeral passions and the cult of the body.

The huge difference is that, today, we find the work already started. We don't need to develop reasoning from scratch, analyzing physical phenomena, talking to Spirits through blows. It is enough for us to study in depth, with great wisdom and dedication, Spiritism and the complementary works that help us to better understand it, placing it in a contextualized way in the historical moment in which it was born, in order to bring it to our days. the exact understanding, which until today we have not had, for the most part, about what really It's Spiritism!

But this will not be possible until we act according to the example of the one whom God has given us as an example in this regard. I'm not talking about our ultimate example, Jesus, but about our great and humble master, affable and charitable, a researcher dedicated to humanity, Allan Kardec. No, until we follow their example, I repeat, the recovery of Spiritism will not be possible. Kardec was not perfect, as none of us are, but he exemplified one very important thing: the total absence of personalism, vanity and pride, as well as the quest to analyze facts, evidence and opinions, from all sides and from all sources. , without, before, form an idea previously conceived. As long as our personalism, our vanity, our pride, our prejudices, in short, speak louder, we will not leave the same place. Unfortunately, this is not what has been done by people who, taking fragile arguments in favor of their personal ideas, continue to deny historical facts and who, therefore, distance themselves from the unfolding of a clear and deep understanding of Spiritism, as already I treated in this article.

Spiritualists, look around: work calls us, hard! The world of regeneration will not come alone! Regeneration needs to come from us, but it won't happen as long as we keep still, sitting, waiting for life and what we think are punishments, to pass. We need to understand that the difficulties of life, which we consider insurmountable punishments, are actually valuable opportunities for learning and correcting our imperfections that lead us to make mistakes. We need to understand that, just as God does not impose punishments on us, but rather difficult opportunities - but totally bearable, as long as we ourselves do not increase their difficulties - for learning and elevation, we also need, with the help of the Spiritist Doctrine, to learn to putting into practice in our lives and, above all, with our children, the same moral: we are imperfect and punishing the error born of imperfection only causes retraction and, often, an increase in imperfection and error. That's what Spiritism comes to show us: no one becomes an angel at the snap of a finger and, also, no one loses what they've already conquered. There are no fallen angels, just as there are no chosen ones by God. We will all reach perfection, no exceptions, but the speed with which we will get there depends, solely and exclusively, of us.

So, brothers, more than ever, that important exhortation is worth: “spiritualists! love–you, this is the first teaching; instructyou, this is the second”. We need to put aside divisions. We need to put aside prejudices. We need, like Kardec, to listen to all opinions, from all sources, but only like Kardec, understanding his work, his example and his method very well, can we unite, love and educate each other. And above all, we need to produce, in our good and in favor of the next, because time is pressing and, after a year and a half of closed spiritist centers, many without none production, even among its closest members, we need to recover Spiritism that is not lived in closed temples, but in our family intimacy and, from there, to the outside world!

Once again, here is the exhortation, the request, so that you, brothers, also read the works so important and necessary for our understanding:

• Allan Kardec's Legacy, by Simoni Privato
• Neither heaven nor hell, by Paulo Henrique de Figueiredo and Lucas Sampaio
• Autonomy: the untold story of Spiritism, by Paulo Henrique de Figueiredo
• A lot of light, by Berthe Fropo

Closing the First Chapter of the first edition of Revista Espírita, Kardec mentions the publication of The Book of Spirits, bringing to light a very interesting and sensible article published in Paris courier, of June 11, 1857, as well as some letters addressed to him, thanking him for the consoling work presented in that work. It is interesting to note how the press, at the time, cited such events without the great need to criticize them without foundation, as we often see today.

Reading the admirable responses of the Spirits in the work of Mr. Kardec, we told ourselves that there would be a beautiful book to write. We quickly recognized that we had been wrong: the book is already written. We would only spoil it if we tried to complete it.

G. Du Chalard – Paris courier, of June 11, 1857

Kardec ends up talking about how the Book was created, in its first edition, largely with the help of the Baudin sisters. After the first edition, it was recommended by the Spirits themselves to carry out a review of the work. It is important to highlight that Kardec always sought to confirm the answers obtained mainly by intuitive mediums with mechanical mediums, where the influence of the medium would be less or non-existent. In addition, on the more complicated issues, he sought a greater number of “opinions”, asking the same question to different spirits, through mediums everywhere. This is the well-known Universal Concordance of the Teachings of the Spirits.

Here Kardec cites the case of Joana D'Arc, without delving into it. She would have herself conveyed a message to Miss Dufaux, telling the heroine's story in more depth, highlighting having been a medium and explaining her journey. Kardec says he will return to this case on another occasion, but it is interesting to mention that he accepted such content, verifying that the medium in question was only 14 years old when he received it and that, even though he came from an educated family, he would hardly have found it in libraries. such little-known details about the character in question.

It is interesting to point out that Miss Dufaux had an important participation in the Spiritist Magazine itself, where, according to Canuto de Abreu, she cooperated in transmitting valuable guidelines for this journal:

At the end of 1857, Kardec had the idea of publishing a spiritist journal and wanted to hear the opinion of the spiritual guides. Ermance was the chosen medium and, through her, a Spirit gave the Master of Lion many excellent directions. The organ was named “Revista Espírita” and was launched in January of the following year.

It was also Mr. Dufaux, Ermance's father, who cooperated a lot in the foundation of the Parisian Society of Spiritist Studies, when he managed to obtain authorization for the Society's meetings in just 15 days (the laws in force did not allow the free meeting in closed places, being Kardec himself many sometimes followed by “police officers” in order to verify and report their encounters and meetings).

She was also a great cooperator in the revision of The Spirits' Book, in the 2nd edition of the work.

In this somewhat more extensive approach, Kardec draws attention to the fact that spiritual manifestations are evidently recognized even within the Roman Catholic Church, from which he cites a great article, published at the time, in Civiltà Cattolica, from Rome. Very interesting to note the tone of the article, where, at times, it seems that we are reading a text by Kardec himself, given the lucidity and honesty of the analysis of the facts in question.

It is worth remembering the case of the work “Purgatory Manuscript”, where a Sister, within the context of the Catholic Church, received and published several psychographs of other brothers, from within the same context, already deceased. The work begins with a long introduction, full of however and meanwhile, aiming to explain what happened as something allowed by God only in that very strict situation, but which is worth at least a superficial analysis.

Here Kardec addresses two cases of visions spiritual. Although we are aware of visual spiritual manifestations, none of them here seem to be about that, but rather of double-sight phenomena, somnambulism or ecstasy, as in the last case, where the spirit of the incarnate is transported to another place, living other experiences. which later come to be confirmed. 

“As dreams are nothing more than a state of incomplete natural somnambulism, we will designate the visions that occur in this state under the name of somnambulistic visions, to distinguish them from those that occur in the waking state, which we will call double-sight visions. ”

Below, we separate an excerpt that aims to provoke a certain provocation and that opens the field for a necessary reflection:

“When the visions have as their object the beings of the incorporeal world, one could, apparently with some reason, call them hallucinations, because nothing can demonstrate their accuracy.”

In other words: can we really trust mediumistic “visions” from other planes and worlds? It is necessary, as Kardec reminds us, to always be very careful, not believing for the sake of believing in what anyone says.

A brief overview of the ecstatic, remembering that such somnambulistic mediumship, which today is confused with the so-called “astral journeys”, lacks knowledge and vigilance on the part of the medium himself. Faced with the wonders of visions, in this specific case, being able to move away from your carnal body in such a way, making your connection with it so tenuous that it even breaks, under your desire to abandon it. Always remembering that “It is not the departure of the Spirit that causes the death of the body, but it is the death of this that causes the departure of the Spirit.”

Here Kardec discusses a case that occurred in which an institution determined the payment of a premium to those who could prove some spiritist phenomena, which none of the subscribers was able to attend, although, outside of there, many of them obtained such phenomena easily, as it happened, he recalls. Kardec, ten years earlier, with some magnetized sleepwalkers, in France, who, in other circumstances, “read closed books and deciphered an entire letter, sitting on it or placing it well folded and closed on their stomach”. 

We've seen this recently, too. It is important to understand, with this approach, that spirituality is not at our command and is not interested in such shows, especially when aiming, through this, obtain material gains of any gender. In fact, it is interesting to note how this repulses both the superior and inferior spirits, which gives rise to a great discussion about mediums who launch themselves, for example, to read fortune.

It also brings to mind the various controversial cases in which several "Spiritists" have already been involved, as happened to Leymarie himself, in what became known as "The Process of the Spiritists", a fact that caused great shame to the Spiritist Movement at the time, and the well-known case of the controversial spiritual materialization, in which Chico Xavier participated. We cannot judge whether they are expensive out of sheer levity or not, but they are quite complicated cases, which do not deny the possibility and even the veracity of such phenomena, but which serve to call our attention to some points:

1. Spiritism conquers many more adepts through its consoling and enlightening philosophy than through phenomena, before which, whoever is decidedly skeptical, will not become less convinced;
2. Human beings are fallible, most of the time more out of vigilance than malice. We can not deify anyone, especially when we remember that mediums they are, in general, Spirits who have been quite faulty in the past, who receive mediumship as a grateful opportunity to correct their deviations;
3. Spirits do not attend to us when we we want, but when they want him;
4. Spirits do not lend themselves to answering trivial things that are within our reach, nor do they lend themselves to proving what is easily verifiable by our intelligence, as much as a man of great knowledge does not lend himself to answering questions already answered, to which many don't dare to search out of sheer laziness.

The scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus, “Teacher, we would very much like you to show us a wonder.” Jesus replied, “This wicked and adulterous generation asks for a wonder, but none other than that of Jonah will be given to them.”

(Matthew, 12:38 and 39.)

The issue of tampering in A Genesis is already factually sanctioned, that is, there is no longer any doubt that Allan Kardec no was responsible for the changes presented from the fifth edition of A Genesis. All this is very clear in the work. Allan Kardec's Legacy, by Simoni Privato, but we have also covered some of this in the article Adulterations in Kardec's works and the "CSI of Spiritism". However, one question still remained: how did Kardec's wife, Amélie Boudet, let this serious adulteration pass?

The answer came quite simply and clearly: she did not know of such changes (or tampering), nor did she expect them, even because there was never a legal deposit for the new edition, necessary, at that time, for any change in the content of the work. . Allan Kardec has always made such deposits, when necessary, for a new work or for a new edition, with changes to the previous one. That's why he Never made legal deposit of no other edition of A Genesis, since in the first four editions it has not been altered.

All this becomes clearer in the video below. We invite the reader to watch, carefully, and leave your comment here in this article.
