Jacolliot L. Books

Louis Jacolliot was a French barrister and orientalist whose writings explored comparative religion and occult sciences. His extensive travels in India and Tahiti provided him with firsthand exposure to various social and religious groups, which he drew upon in his work. Though not always philologically precise, Jacolliot's writings popularized Indian myths and religious concepts, often with a sensationalist flair aimed at a broad audience. He is noted for his theories suggesting Indian roots for Christian narratives and his explorations into lost continents and occult traditions, influencing later esoteric thinkers.
