metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with the attribution of two items from the collection of the Museum of the
  History of Religion, the history and purpose of which have long remained unknown. These
  are the Tarot arcana, which came into the museum’s collection in 1940. A comparison of items
  from the museum’s library, the scientific and historical archives, a study of records, and the use
  of contemporary publications made it possible to attribute these items as belonging to the history
  of the Order of the Martinists in Petrograd/Leningrad, led by Grigory Otonovich Mebes.
  Related to his name is the Course of the Encyclopaedia of the Occult — lectures in which Mebes
  referred to the hermetic sciences, magic, the Kabbalah, drawing on the symbolism of the
  major arcana of the Tarot for explanations. This explains the abundance of drawings done in
  pencil, ink and ink, as well as the “gift” copy of the large-format major arcana in the museum’s
  collections. The arcana, drawn after Papius’s Tarot models, revealed the continuity between
  the Petrograd Martinists and the Western esoteric tradition. Numerous contemporary publications
  and mentions of Mebes’ name in the literature on the history of esotericism, and the
  discussions that have developed on the iconography of the Tarot arcana illustrating Mebes’
  lectures, are clear evidence of the fact that the museum has unique materials that should be
  introduced into academic discourse as one of the valuable historical sources.
