Elephas Levi (the pen name of Abb Louis Constant, 1810-1875) was
one of the leading occultists of the 19th century. For most of his
life he was a Roman Catholic priest; even after he was defrocked in
1844, his views continued to have a strong Catholic influence. His
books, translated into English after his death, were essential to
the development of other occultists such as Albert Pike, Helena
Blavatsky, A.E. Waite, and Aleister Crowley.
"Paradoxes of the Highest Science" was the first of Levi's books
to be translated into English. (The original French version was
published in 1856.) This edition reprints the 1883 text issued by
the Theosophical Society (translated by Anonymous) and includes the
1922 commentary by "an Eminent Occultist" (perhaps Helena P.
Blavatsky).
In addition to "Paradoxes of the Highest Science," this edition
includes two more essays by Levi, "Synthetic Recapitulation" and
"The Great Secret."
