Antoine Fabre d'Olivet (December 8, 1767-March 25, 1825) was a
French author, poet, and composer whose biblical and philosophical
hermeneutics in?uenced many occultists, such as Eliphas Levi and
Gerard Encausse (Papus), and Rene Guenon. D'Olivet spent his life
pursuing the esoteric wisdom concealed in the Hebrew scriptures,
Greek philosophy, and the symbolism of many ancient cultures as far
back as ancient India, Persia, and Egypt. His writings are
considered classics of the Hermetic tradition. His best known works
today are his research on the Hebrew language (The Hebraic Tongue
Restored), his translation and interpretation of the writings of
Pythagoras (The Golden Verses of Pythagoras), and his writings on
the sacred art of music. In addition to the above two books and the
present one, Hermetica has also published in consistent facsimile
format for its Collected Works of Fabre d'Olivet series Cain and
The Healing of Rodolphe Grivel. D'Olivet's interest in Pythagoras
started a revival of Neo-Pythagoreanism that would later in?uence
many occultists and new age esotericists. His mastery of many
ancient languages and their literatures enabled him to write (in
the time of Napoleon) his Hermeneutic Interpretation of the Origin
of the Social State of Man and the Destiny of the Adamic Race,
which remains a landmark investigation of the deeper esoteric
undercurrents at work in the history of culture. A selection of
