he reign of Peter the Great (1672-1725) was marked by an unprecedented wave of
reform in Russia. 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.
