Subtitle: "Cosmic Evolution and the Principles of Immortality."
This is a a weighty book with a complex historical narrative weaving together a wide variety of intellectual threads the author believes contributed to the creation of the tarot Triumphs. Léon clearly thinks he has found The Answer. Whether he has or not, I strongly recommend this book to the small minority of ATers who are likely to enjoy this sort of thing. If in doubt, here's the book's home page where you can check out the main thesis and read a few chapter excerpts.
