Allan Kardec Spiritism

Allan Kardec was the codifier of Spiritism.

Allan Kardec was the scrupulous organiser of the material upon which 19thcentury Spiritist philosophy was based. He was by no means, an imaginative or a mystic writer.

On 18 April 1857 Kardec published “The Spirits Book”, which would signify the beginning of the Spiritist Doctrine. This book was signed by the name of Allan Kardec, therefore separating his current work from the time he was known as a writer and a prestigious pedagogue, when he used to sign his teaching works by his family name: Hippolyte Leon Denizard Rivail.

During the few years he had left in this existing reincarnation, he wrote all the books that comprise the Spiritist Codification.

Books codified and written by Allan Kardec:

. The Spirits’ Book (1857)

. What is Spiritism (1859)

. The Mediums’ Book (1861)

. The Gospel According to Spiritism (1864)

. Heaven and Hell (1865)

. The Genesis (1868)

. Posthumous Work (1890)
