Levi influenced most of the notable occultists of his century, including his student Paul Christian (1811-1877), who wrote The History of Magic, published in 1870. He also influenced the Swiss occultist and hypnotist, Oswald Wirth (1860-1943), who in 1889 published a redesigned occult Tarot of his own. Levi s work also had an impact on the French Rosicrucian Papus (1865-1916), who wrote 260 books on the occult, including The Tarot of the Bohemians, published in 1889. Perhaps Levi s most important influence, though, was in England.
