Émile Louis Burnouf

(French: Émile Louis Burnouf)

(1821-1907)

La Science des religions first appeared as articles in La Revue des Deux Mondes (1864-1868). A second edition was published in Paris in 1872; E. J. Rapson’s English translation followed in London in 1888. (BCW 2:524).

Author of Le Bouddhisme en Occident, published in Revue des Deux-Mondes on 15 July 1888 (BCW 10:416).

His sympathetic article on the Theosophical Society was independently used by H. P. Blavatsky in the August 1888 Lucifer and by H. S. Olcott in the October Theosophist. Olcott noted the coincidence and supplemented his review with Blavatsky’s comments. (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 10:63-64)
