Dr. Wilhelm Hübbe-Schleiden (1846-1916) became president of the Germania Theosophical Society at Elberfeld, Germany, in 1884, and also established a theosophical magazine, The Sphinx. His doctorate was in law and political economy. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, he served as an attaché to the German Consulate General in London.[1]

Dr. Hübbe-Schleiden, like William Quan Judge, received two unusual letters from the Mahatmas Koot Hoomi and Morya, which were called "certificates." Each document stated clearly that The Secret Doctrine was a joint production of the Mahatmas with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. He found them, evidently precipitated, in his copy of Richard Hodgson's S. P. R. Report. Geoffrey A. Barborka in his extensive analysis of the unusual style of handwriting of the letters, stated: "The point is here made that a precipitated message may be produced by one who knows how to do so in any desired style of writing![2]

Hübbe-Schleiden was instructed not to publish the letters, but he showed them to W. Q. Judge on July 21, 1892. Mr. Judge received permission to print his copies two years after Blavatsky's death, and he did so in The Path, in 1893.[3]
