3 unusual facts about Marco Pallis


Alexander Masovianus

After an early interest in mysticism (bolstered by a series of research trips, including several months’ sojourn on Mount Athos in 1982), his personal views underwent an evolution in the 1990s, taking him out of the conventional fold of organized Christianity and placing him squarely among the sympathizers of the philosophia perennis (which include such people as René Guénon and Marco Pallis), though in his case with a pronounced Sufi bias.

Marietta Pallis
