|description=The real name of this learned Kabalist was Abbé Alphonse Louis Constant. Eliphas Lévi Zahed was the author of several works on philosophical magic. Member of the ''Fratres Lucis ''(Brothers of Light), he was also once upon a time a priest, an ''abbé ''of the Roman Catholic Church, which promptly proceeded to unfrock him, when he acquired fame as a Kabalist. He died some twenty years ago, leaving five famous works — ''Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie ''(1856); ''Histoire de la Magie ''(1860); ''La Clef des grands Mystères ''(1861); ''Legendes et Symboles ''(1862); and ''La Science des Esprits ''(1865) ; besides some other works of minor importance. His style is extremely light and fascinating; but with a rather too strong characteristic of mockery and paradox in it to be the ideal of a serious Kabalist {{ctd-source|TG}}. | |description=The real name of this learned Kabalist was Abbé Alphonse Louis Constant.
