In the middle of the Eighteenth century he appeared suddenly, a man of mature years and unusual learning. An intimate of Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour, this 'man without a past' gained renown as a chemist, musician, composer, diplomat and esoteric religious figure. This study probes little-known areas of 18th century political and spiritual life and provides new answers about a figure who, to Frederick the Great, was 'A man whose riddle has never been solved.'" - dust jacket. ix, 335 pages. Index. Bibliography. Black and white plates. Book clean, bright, tight and unmarked with negligible wear. Very light wear to sunned dust jacket which is now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A high-quality example of this fascinating study.; Sm 4to .
