16 pp., $2.50-$3.50 a year. This is the official organ of the Kardecist Confederacion Espiritista Argentina. Like all such it was primarily devoted to the doings of the local societies and the political intricacies of the governing structure, with regular expositions of spiritist doctrine. Increasingly over time, the journal began to make room for material on Theosophy, oriental religions, parapsychology (Naum Kreiman became first editor of the Cuadernos de Parapsicologia), and occultism generally. Beginning in the mid-1930s the journal began featuring in each issue a valuable short appreciation of notable spiritualists ("Los Trabajadores del espiritu") like W.T. Stead, A. Aksakoff, Sofia Wadia, Quintin Lopez Gomez, Leon Denis, Oliver Lodge, et al., each with a cover portrait. University of Texas, Austin (vol. 17, 1941); Archivo General de la Guerra Civil Espanola.
