Succeeds: Voile d'Isis
41/193, January 1936-93/518, October-December 1992. 48 pp. (varies); 30 francs a year (40 outside France)-130 francs. The journal continued the volume numbering of Voile d'Isis. Publication was interrupted during World War II (June 1940-November 1945). The journal published the works of Rene Guenon and of his followers and, until its last years, was under the control of the traditionalists and had as its goal the explication of "la tradition perpetuelle et unanime" and discussion of whether there were "des possibilitites initiatiques dans les formes traditionnelles occidentales." In its traditionalist approach, as Paul Chacornac explained in the first issue, the journal continued the policy Voile d'Isis had already been following since 1929. After the Romanian Michel Valsan assumed control of the journal in 1948, the journal increasingly gave place to a traditionalist view of Islam.
