  Emile Burnouf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emile was the cousin of Eugene Burnouf, the founder of Buddhist studies in the West.
Burnouf believed that Semitic peoples were an inferior sub-group of the white race, and that the Hebrew peoples were divided into two races, worshippers of Elohim and worshippers of Yahweh.
Burnouf claimed that swastika originated as a stylised depiction of a fire-altar seen from above, and was thus the essential symbol of the Aryan race.

 Émile Littré - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Settling down as a collector of taxes, he married Sophie Johannot, a free-thinker like himself, and devoted himself to the education of his son Émile.
The boy was sent to the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, where he had for friends Hachette and Eugène Burnouf.
After he had completed his course at school, he hesitated for a time as to what profession he should adopt, and meanwhile made himself master, not only of the English and German languages, but of the classical and Sanskrit literature and philology.

It is on this, to a degree erroneous, conception of the aims and object of the Theosophical Society that M. Burnouf's article, and the remarks and opinions that ensue therefrom, are based.
Burnouf has read in the Lotus, the journal of the Theosophical Society of Paris, a polemical correspondence between one of the Editors of LUCIFER and the Abbé Roca.
Burnouf explains their dualism as referring to the double nature of man--good and evil--the evil principle being the Mara of Buddhist legend.

The discovery of the Indo-European language group in the 1790s led to a great effort by archaeologists to link the pre-history of European peoples to the ancient Aryans (Indo-Iranians).

 The classical and medieval views of Mesopotamia
The first promising attempt at decipherment was made by the German philologist Georg Friedrich Grotefend in 1802, by use of the kings' names in the Old Persian versions of the trilingual inscriptions, although his later efforts led him up a blind alley.
Thereafter, the efforts to decipher cuneiform gradually developed in the second half of the 19th century into a discipline of ancient Oriental philology, which was based on results established through the pioneering work of Emile Burnouf, Edward Hincks, Sir Henry Rawlinson, and many others.
Today this subject is still known as Assyriology, because at the end of the 19th century the great majority of cuneiform texts came from the Assyrian city of Nineveh, in particular from the library of King Ashurbanipal in the mound of Kuyunjik at Nineveh.

 budhism or Buddhism?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Blavatsky repeatedly stated that she wanted the Theosophical Society to remain unsectarian; the T.S. was not Buddhist, but respected all religions as descendants of a far-distant, primitive "Wisdom Religion," which was now, alas, completely esoteric, along with its Adept caretakers.
It is true [as Burnouf says] that no mysteries or esotericism exists in the two chief Buddhist Churches, the Southern and the Northern.
Buddhists may well be content with the dead letter of Siddhårtha Buddha's teachings, as fortunately no higher or nobler ones in their effects upon the ethics of the masses exist, to this day.

The chief contribution of France to the modem study of religion is in the field of the history of religions, where Paris alone now offers an organized body of instruction and where the work of French scholars has always been preëminent.
For example, the scientific study of the Avesta was first seriously attempted by Eugène BURNOUF (1801-1852), who laid the foundations of our present knowledge of Zoroastrianism ("Zendavesta," Paris, 1829-1843; "Commentaire sur le Yaçna," Paris, 1833), following up the explorations of that forerunner of modem scholarship, ANQUETIL DUPERRON.
BURNOUF also did pioneering work of the first importance in the study of Indian Buddhism ("Introduction à l'histoire du Buddhisme Indien," Paris, 1844; "Lotus de la bonne loi," Paris, 1852), and developed the study of Hinduism ("Bhâgavata Purâna," vols.

The Society was founded to become the Brotherhood of Humanity – a centre, philosophical and religious, common to all – not as a propaganda for Buddhism merely.
This declaration [continues M. Burnouf] is not Christian because it takes no account of belief, because it does not proselytise for any communion, and because, in fact, the Christians have usually made use of calumny against their adversaries, for example, the Manicheans, Protestants and Jews.

 The Proof From Miracles
Metaphysics are just what all our theology runs up into, and our bishops, as we know, are here particularly strong.
But we see everyday that the making religion into meta-physics is the weakening of religion; now, M. Burnouf makes religion into metaphysics more than ever.
Yet evidently the metaphysical method lacks power for laying hold on people, and compelling them to receive the Bible from it; it is' felt to be inconclusive as thus employed, and its inconclusiveness tells against the Bible.

 Victorian Studies--Arnoldian Ethnology
To be sure, Arnold found Gobineau's and Burnouf's vulgar caricatures of the Semite worthy of ridicule.
Arnold thus dismissed Bernouf's claim that Christianity was a metaphysical doctrine imported from Persia and India rather than the practical religion of the southern Jews of Jerusalem and Judea, those supposedly true Semites guided by legal literalism, incapacity for abstraction or science, and small brains (see Arnold 6: 239-40; also Faverty 172).
Arnold refused Burnouf's idea that Christianity was Aryan in origin, but he admitted ''that Israel shows no talent for metaphysics,'' even if religious greatness arises from the fact that ''he does not found religion on metaphysics'' (6: 241).

The French Orientalist Emile Burnouf wrote supportively of the Theosophical Society in the Reveux des Deux Mondes last century.
Protesting against Theosophists' attempts to distance themselves from exoteric Buddhism plain and simple, Burnouf wrote,
This [universal brotherhood] declaration [of the Theosophical Society] is purely Buddhistic: the practical publications of the Society are either translations of Buddhist books, or original works inspired by the teaching of Buddha.

 LA LEYENDA DEL SANTO GRIAL. Por Alice Leighton Cleather y Basil Crump - Archivo Richard Wagner
Y esto, junto con el relato que él hace de su origen oriental, casa íntimamente con algunas de las versiones expuestas por eminentes eruditos.
Émile Burnouf, por ejemplo, escribe: «La única leyenda verdadera del Vaso (o Copa) sagrado, es la que puede seguirse desde el día de hoy, remontándose hacia lo pasado, en las Escrituras cristianas, griegas, persas y budisias, hasta los himnos vedas, donde se halla su significado»
También Rosenkranz, Simrock y otros están de acuerdo con Burnouf en que esta tradición es principalmente oriental; aunque no cabe duda de que la tradición cristiana, habiéndose apropiado la leyenda, sigue la versión de Chrestien de Troyes, que elimina el elemento griego y le da una base completamente cristiana.
