Each illustration is left free, retained in the manuscript by a fold in the page. And preceded by a page of handwritten comments by Eliphas Lévi. The manuscript is complete with all illustrations, and is signed at the end by Eliphas Lévi. "Original manuscript in the hand of the famous Eliphas Lévi, composed one year before his death. It was probably this collection that Eliphas Lévi was referring to when he wrote to his pupil Baron de Spédaliéri on January 23, 1974: I still hope that we'll resume our lessons regularly and finish our course, which remains unfinished; the album I'm working on will be a complement to it and like an atlas." This manuscript album remains unpublished. Alphonse-Louis CONSTANT (1810-1875), who took the author's name of Eliphas Lévi Zahed, the Hebrew translation of his name, had a full life. Steeped in religion, politically committed, utopian, Freemason, cabalist, painter (he illustrated novels by DUMAS), he was a great scholar, devoting most of his work to highly learned esoteric analyses. He remains famous for his profound occultist writings. "Provenance of this manuscript: Library of Christiane Buisset, founder of the Cercle Eliphas Lévi, also founder of several Masonic Lodges in the Memphis Rite (Egyptian Rite)". This manuscript belonged to Stanislas de GUAITA, famous scholar and esotericist, N°1348 in his library catalog. A unique document, which should be published... For passionate collectors.
