Emil Wittgenstein

Also: • Emile Karl Ludwig von Sayn-Wittgenstein •

(1824–1878)

Prince and friend of H. P. Blavatsky and her family. Joined the Theosophical Society at Vevey, Switzerland, in December 1877.

The appendix refers to the biographical sketch in volume I, pages 533-534. (BCW 4:670).

Attributed his escape from dangers during the Russo-Turkish War to a promise of protection by one of the “Brothers”; his account appeared with H. P. Blavatsky’s comments. This was the prince’s own interpretation. (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 4:355)
