This was a simple local spiritist journal, with the expected Seccion Doctrinal y Moral del Espiritismo with articles on morality, the law of charity, false mediums, liberty, equality and fraternity, "One for All and All for One." etc., and didactic poems on the likes of "Doubts of an Anti-Spiritist Lady Who Is Not a Materialist." The journal also carried a four page supplement entitled "Biblioteca de ‘La Revelacion'" with each issue which serialized Allan Kardec's "Libro de Los Espiritus" and Manuel Corchado's "Historias de Ultra-Tumba." Notes in the Banner of Light, 1878, indicate that the journal was still being received.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Revelacion was an early Buenos Aires organ of Kardecist Spiritism (Espiritismo), published in 1876-1877 as the doctrine spread through the Rio de la Plata. Its pages defend spiritism as a rational, experimentally grounded faith and report mediumistic communications, materializations and seance phenomena. Doctrinally it rests on the Kardecist pillars of survival after death, the plurality of existences (reincarnation) and moral progress. Though its phenomena overlap with Anglo-American spiritualism, it belongs squarely to the Latin, Kardec-derived Espiritismo tradition. The review sits alongside contemporaries such as Constancia and La Fraternidad in the emergence of organized Argentine spiritism.
