Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier 2 because this is a community edited Wikipedia article rather than a peer reviewed publication. Reliable for well established, checkable biographical and publication facts, not for interpretive claims about the subject's own system. NotesA general encyclopedia entry, cited here only for well corroborated biographical and bibliographic facts (dates of Etteilla's own 1783 to 1791 publications, the resequencing of the Major Arcana, the added astrological correspondences and the early use of reversed meanings), not for any disputed reading. Consulted 2026-08-14.
