The Early Life of Louis Claude de St. Martin is a biographical book written by Arthur Edward Waite. The book is about the early years of Louis Claude de St. Martin, a French philosopher, mystic, and spiritual writer who lived from 1743 to 1803. St. Martin was a disciple of Jacob Boehme, a German mystic, and his teachings were influential in the development of the Martinist Order. This book provides a detailed account of St. Martin's life, from his childhood in France to his studies in medicine and his eventual spiritual awakening. Waite draws on a variety of sources, including St. Martin's own writings, to paint a vivid picture of the man and his beliefs. The book also explores the cultural and intellectual context of St. Martin's time, including the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the rise of Romanticism.
