First Complete Translation

Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.

While Jean-Baptiste Alliette (Etteilla) is a foundational figure in occultism, no complete English translation of his 1790 'Cours théorique et pratique du livre de Thot' has been formally published by a mainstream or academic press. A complete translation by James W. Revak (2005) exists but was released independently/digitally via 'Villa Revak' and is not found in major library catalogs. Significant excerpts and partial translations appear in scholarly works on the history of Tarot.
