This book provides an innovative reappraisal of the Petrine Age, in which hitherto neglected aspects of the tsar?s transformation of his country are studied. More specifically, the reforms enacted by the tsar are assessed in light of the religious notion of instauration ? a belief in the restoration of Adamic knowledge in the last age ? and a historical and cultural analysis of the impact of Western esotericism at the Russian court. This book will appeal to scholars of Russian history and religion, as well as being of wider interest to those studying Western esotericism in Early Modern and eighteenth-century Europe. 410 0$aAries book series ;$vv. 14. 606 $aOccultism$zRussia$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aMysticism$zRussia$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aOccultism and science$zRussia$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aReligion and science$zRussia$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aOccultists$zRussia$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aScholars$zRussia$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aRussia$xHistory$yPeter I, 1689-1725 607 $aRussia$xCourt and courtiers$xHistory$y18th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOccultism$xHistory 615 0$aMysticism$xHistory 615 0$aOccultism and science$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and science$xHistory 615 0$aOccultists$xHistory 615 0$aScholars$xHistory 676 $a947/.05 700 $aCollis$b Robert$0922829 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457651503321 996 $aThe Petrine instauration$92070791 997 $aUNINA
