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 present volume
(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 works, Hermetica has published in consistent facsimile format
for its Collected Works of Fabre d'Olivet series Cain and The
Healing of Rodolphe Grivel, as well as Hermeneutic Interpretation
of the Origin of the Social State of Man and the Destiny of the
Adamic Race. D'Olivet's mastery of many ancient languages and their
literatures enabled him to write (in the time of Napoleon) this
extraordinary text which remains a landmark investigation of the
deeper esoteric undercurrents at work in the history of culture. In
this prodigious work, which first appeared in 1815, Fabre d'Olivet
goes back to the origin of speech and rebuilds upon a basis of
truly colossal learning the edifice of primitive and hieroglyphic
Hebrew, bringing back the Hebraic tongue to its constitutive
principles by deriving it wholly from the sign, which he considers
the symbolic and living image of the generative ideas of language.
Fabre d'Olivet had found that what is called today the Hebraic
tongue is only a colorless simulation of the tongue of the
mysteries, and that in finding again this mysterious language one
would hold at last the key of all cosmogonies. Drawing upon the
resources acquired by his exhaustive studies of Chinese, Sanskrit,
Samaritan, Chaldaic, Syriac, Arabic, and Greek, he restored the
tongue of the mysteries. Part First: Introductory Dissertation,
Hebraic Grammar, and Series of Hebraic Roots. Part Second:
Preliminary Discourse and Cosmogony of Moses.
