JOHN G. ABIZAID'S 1912 FLAT EARTH BOOK
John G. Abizaid’s The Enlightenment of the World is a fascinating 1912 historical flat earth book presenting his arguments for a flat and stationary Earth and his interpretation of water, land, the Sun, Moon, stars, and the apparent motion of the heavens.
Published as a revised and enlarged Second Edition, Abizaid organizes the principal portion of the book into three chapters — “About the Water,” “About the Land,” and “About the Sun, Moon and Stars.” Throughout the work, he uses observations, illustrations, diagrams, biblical references, and straightforward explanations to develop the cosmological model he believed best described the world.
The book also preserves an unusual historical record through letters, testimonials, and correspondence associated with Abizaid and the circulation of his ideas. Original illustrations and charts — including his distinctive depiction of the Sun’s apparent movement in relation to different regions of the Earth — add another dimension to this compact early twentieth-century work.
Years later, Abizaid created his 1920 New Correct Map of the Flat Surface Stationary Earth, giving visual form to many of the geographical and cosmological ideas associated with his writings. That connection makes The Enlightenment of the World especially interesting for collectors and researchers of historical flat earth maps, flat world maps, alternative cosmology, and early twentieth-century cartography.
This restored ADVENTURE iDIAZ Historical Digital Edition preserves the character and content of Abizaid’s original 1912 publication while presenting it in a clean digital PDF format for modern reading, collecting, study, and historical research.
