Description from the seller
[SAINT-MARTIN (Louis-Claude de)]. The Man of Desire. By the Author of Errors & Truth. Lyon, J. Sulpice Grabit, 1790.

Original edition of the work, the rarest of the “Unknown Philosopher.” A sequence of meditations and prayers in poetic prose, which marks Saint-Martin’s passage from Martinès de Pasqually’s theurgy to an inner path. A major text of illuminism, with a lasting influence on European Romanticism.

Ancient manuscript attribution on the half-title (“Par Saint-martin”).
A very complete copy, inside very fresh. Spine repaired, binding solid; some scattered foxing. Presented under a transparent jacket, in a protective case.
