American author and lecturer. Settled in San Francisco in 1880; lectured widely on scientific subjects, especially Oriental religions and languages. Wrote ''Darwinism and Spiritualism'' (1877) and ''Spiritualism-Cui Bono?'' (1878). Opposed Theosophy and H. P. Blavatsky from the very first, publishing a number of articles trying to expose H.P.B. as a literary fraud; while a few of his strictures have some small justification in fact, his arguments are shallow and his facts often confused. (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.1)#449|1:449-450]][[SMW::on]]). +

Collanges, Gabriel de +

Born in 1524. The best astrologer in the XVlth century and a still better Kabbalist. He spent a fortune in the unravelling of its mysteries. It was rumoured that he died through poison administered to him by a Jewish Rabbin‐Kabbalist [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

College of Rabbis +

A college at Babylon; most famous during the early centuries of Christianity. Its glory, however, was greatly darkened by the appearance in Alexandria of Hellenic teachers, such as Philo Judæus, Josephus, Aristobulus and others. The former avenged themselves on their successful rivals by speaking of the Alexandrians as theurgists and unclean prophets. But the Alexandrian believers in thaumaturgy were not regarded as sinners or impostors when orthodox Jews were at the head of such schools of ''“hazim”''. These were colleges for teaching prophecy and occult sciences. Samuel was the chief of such a college at Ramah; Elisha at Jericho. Hillel had a regular academy for prophets and seers; and it is Hillel, a pupil of the Babylonian College, who was the founder of the Sect of the Pharisees and the great orthodox Rabbis [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Collemann, Jean +

An Alsatian, born at Orleans, according to K. Mackenzie; other accounts say he was a Jew, who found favour owing to his astrological studies, with both Charles VII. and Louis XI., and that he had a bad influence on the latter [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

[[Collins, Mabel|M. Collins]]’s novel ran in Lucifer from September 1887 to August 1888 in 35 chapters; J. W. Lovell published a New York book edition in 1889. According to [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s letter to J. R. Bridge, she intervened in the ending to prevent black magic being represented as the path of a white adept.

Chapter XXX of her novel The Blossom and the Fruit was signed “Mabel Collins and ——”; [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] considers a contribution by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] possible but does not establish its extent. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Compiler’s Introductory Note#3|BCW 8:3]], [[Zirkoff B. - The Blossom and the Fruit#91|BCW 8:91-93]]) Her serious illness led [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H.
